Our Mission:
The Park Hill Land Conservancy:
- establishes conservation easements to preserve open space;

The Land Conservancy is led by a board of 9 volunteer members (see list below) who meet on the second Tuesday of each month. If you would like to attend a meeting or consider joining the board, please contact Gail Averill for more information and location.
PHLC works with the City on planting and maintenance of City trees throughout the neighborhood. If you have a question or need a tree on city property near your home, please contact any board member.
PHLC has a program to plant free trees in front yards on private property. Contact Gail Averill for more information.
