Welcome to the Lehigh Gap Nature Center

The Lehigh Gap Nature Center is a non-profit, member-run conservation organization located in the Lehigh Gap of Pennsylvania at the foot of the Kittatinny Ridge, between the towns of Slatington and Palmerton. Our mission is to preserve wildlife and habitat through conservation, education, and research for the benefit of the earth and all its inhabitants. We believe in the power of the citizen activist. We believe in the wisdom of the citizen scientist. We believe that knowledge and understanding build compassion. We believe concerned people working together can make a difference. Join us as we improve our corner of the earth.

Explore this site to learn more about who we are, what we do and how you can participate in accomplishing our mission. Upcoming public events hosted by the Center are listed on our calendar. You can also contact us, or visit us at our headquarters, the Osprey House, at the Lehigh Gap Nature Center.
