The Scenic Rural Character Preservation (SRCP) Bond, which the Alliance to Keep Pike Green was instrumental in getting placed on the Nov. 2005 ballot, passed by an impressive majority of 68%. Since that time the pleasant task of using those funds to their best advantage has led to the initiation of the Pike Agricultural Land Preservation Program, the launching of a grant application process for municipalities for technical planning assistance, and an additional grant process for land and easement acquisition..

Pike County Comprehensive Plan approved
Formal approval of this document in Nov. 2006 marked the beginning of an ongoing effort by local officials and citizens to develop their own municipal plans following the guidelines of the new, forward-looking County Plan.

The AKPG Receives Award
The Alliance to Keep Pike Green was the recipient of the Northeast Pennsylvania Environmental Partnership Award for the year 2006, an honor in which we take pride.

The Alliance to Keep Pike Green
The Alliance to Keep Pike Green is a coalition of conservationists, business people, builders, landowners, local officials, and community residents who are committed to preserving Pike County’s high quality of life through good planning and active conservation.

The Pike Alliance is not anti-growth. Our goal is to find balanced solutions to the population pressures that are threatening the things that make Pike County unique – our water, our land, and our way of life.

Members of the Pike Alliance believe it is important that the residents of Pike County publicly express their support for wise, balanced planning that incorporates the needs of conservation along with growth – a strategy that is sometimes referred to as "Smart Growth" planning. As public commitment to this goal builds and as resources for conservation are secured, then local and county officials will have what they need to enact sound land-use policies. Find out more!
