Our Mission
The Lehigh Gap Nature Center is a non-profit conservation organization located in Lehigh Gap, PA, at the foot of the Kittatinny Ridge. Our mission is to preserve wildlife and habitat through conservation, education, and research for the benefit of the earth and all its inhabitants.
Our conservation programs include the Lehigh Gap Wildlife Refuge. The Bake Oven Knob Hawk Watch is one of our many research programs. We also conduct many local educational programs, such as the Kittatiny Raptor Corridor Project.
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.
