The past year has been our first full year after the launch of the State of the Region Report Card. While creating the 2024 Year in Review, South Mountain Partnership has reflected on its strides in just 12 months.
It was a year of sharing, presenting, and familiarizing people with the project. We realigned SMP programming and funding to advance the recommendations we adopted based on the report card. Additionally, we continued to convene and support our partners in various ways, from events and meetings to our grants and partner job board and more.

The South Mountain Partnership is a regional, landscape-scale conservation project in south-central Pennsylvania. This Partnership has emerged to guide efforts within the South Mountain Conservation Landscape, one of seven Conservation Landscapes that the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) has identified throughout the state.
Launched in 2006, the Partnership operates as a public-private partnership between DCNR and the Appalachian Trail Conservancy and has grown into an alliance of citizens, businesses, non-profits, academic institutions, and local, state, and federal government agencies and officials collaborating to envision and secure a sustainable future for the South Mountain landscape.
This landscape is home; it is where we live. Together, the Partnership strives to collaborate in sustaining all that makes our home landscape so special and all that supports the quality of life that we enjoy.
