Celebrating Impact at the Local Level
About: The South Mountain Partnership hosts the Annual “Power of the Partnership” Celebration each year. With more than 100 people in attendance, the event celebrates the people and groups protecting and promoting this wonderful place that we all call home – the farms and farmland, historic places, businesses vibrant communities and downtowns, water and air quality, wildlife and habitat, and parks, trails, and open spaces. We take pride in making this event a fun, tasty, and meaningful program you won’t want to miss.
This year: The South Mountain Conservation Landscape is built around our incredible core of public land, and we are so excited for this event to feature the Kings Gap Environmental Education Center. Come for the incredible views, rich history, and to learn about newly completed projects at this treasured resource.
Registration includes an interactive networking hour, full local lunch, and entrance to the celebration program: inspirational speaker(s), award of the Spirit of South Mountain, award of upcoming Mini-Grant and Flex Grant projects, and an opportunity to connect and celebrate with friends and colleagues, new and old.
In addition to hearing from our host, Cumberland County, guest speakers will explore the impact of local advocacy and action in our community. Those working in the conservation fields are experiencing increased challenges that affirm the importance of working together locally to ensure our home is healthy and accessible for generations yet to come. Speakers will explore what residents, influencers, and local officials should do in their community.
These celebrations are a great way to hear about amazing work happening in your home. Join us!
The event will also feature the awarding of the 2025 South Mountain Grant Program and the Spirit of South Mountain!
