The Pennsylvania Natural Heritage Program (PNHP) is a member
of NatureServe, an international network of natural heritage
programs that gather and provide information on the location
and status of important ecological resources (plants, vertebrates,
invertebrates, natural communities and geologic features).
Our purpose is to provide current, reliable, objective information
to help inform environmental decisions. PNHP information
can be used to guide conservation work and land-use planning,
ensuring the maximum conservation benefit with the minimum
cost.
