The Pike Conservation Partnership originally met late in 2004 with the intent of sharing information and calendar dates to prevent offering competing programs on the same days.  From the initial meeting, the Partnership realized there were many more opportunities to enhance efforts by working in unison. Since that time the Partnership has pooled resources to present educational programs focused on growth management for local citizens and municipal officials that reach a broad range of participants from across Pike, Wayne and Monroe Counties and into neighboring New York State.  In 2007 the Pike Conservation Partnership changed its name to the Conservation Partnership to better represent the region that the partners serve.

The Partnership also focuses its efforts in several other areas including: identifying, prioritizing, and exploring funding options and actions to conserve some of the most environmentally sensitive areas in the region; supporting the Pike County Commissioners in providing education on the $10 million Scenic Rural Character Preservation Bond Referendum and helping to support the bond after its approval by Pike County voters in November 2005. The Partnership also provides an important networking opportunity in development of Pike County's Open Space, Greenways and Recreation Network Plan and the Agricultural Land Preservation Program. 

The Partnership meets on a regular basis to share information and provide updates on current activities.  Each organization has thus developed a better understanding of one another’s role in protecting and preserving the natural resources within the region.  This understanding has opened lines of communication as well as provided important contacts that help the Partners achieve both individual and group goals. This collaboration has helped reduce duplication of services to residents of the region. Information is communicated in a complementary manner, making it easier for the public to understand.  Ideas build on one another, goals are interrelated, so the message to the public builds with each member’s subsequent efforts.  The result is more powerful communication of the main messages.

Pike Conservation Partnership efforts were recognized in 2005 with a NEPA Environmental Partnership Award.  The 2006 workshop series was recognized by the Northeastern PA Nonprofit & Community Assistance Center’s 2006 Annual Community Awards for projects and programs that have made an extraordinary impact upon the quality of life within the communities they serve.
