In the end, we will conserve only what we love, we will love only what we understand, and we will understand only what we are taught.

About ReVision PA

The concept behind ReVisionPA is simple: The more that people experience the role natural resource assets play in their community, the more in-tune they will be with opportunities to protect and enhance them.

Since the best education begins with experience, ReVisionPA focuses on three approaches to help citizens and leaders become more experienced and informed decision-makers — visioning services, workshops, and programs.

Visioning Services

By bringing the outstanding technical expertise of the Central Pennsylvania Conservancy staff together with the power of graphical modeling software, ReVisionPA’s visioning service allows individuals and organizations to visualize the future of their communities. Conservancy experts can help communities examine how different zoning, planning, and management strategies can help to maintain the balance between natural, human, and economic resource assets. These services are specifically intended for:

  • Elected and appointed officials
  • Professional staff
  • Community leaders
  • Citizens

Visioning Workshops

Community leaders and interested citizens can become adept at community visioning strategy and leadership by participating in a ReVisionPA workshop. During these sessions, participants examine real-world scenarios and experience dynamic, hands-on exercises as a team, emerging from the workshop prepared to help others adopt a vision-driven approach to community decision-making. During the workshops, attendees will learn how to understand and balance:

  • Natural resources
  • Community growth
  • Quality of life

Visioning Programs

Residents, students and other citizens may also participate in outdoor education programs that focus on connecting the experience of the region’s natural resource assets with developing a deepened awareness of the underlying relationships between these assets and the communities they support. Participants transition from appreciating the natural world to understanding the direct connection between:

  • Water
  • Air
  • Forest
  • Wildlife
