The Gettysburg Nature Alliance
Founded in 2019, our organization's mission is to preserve, educate and rehabilitate Gettysburg's habitat and heritage. 
Gettysburg is one of our nation's most recognizable places. Famous for the three-day Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863 that helped change the course of the Civil War, Gettysburg also is home to an impactful and relevant natural environment.

This compelling combination of heritage and habitat allows for an engaging environment like no other, demonstrating that we can't preserve our heritage without preserving our habitat.

Join us as we take action to achieve real-world impact on the education about and preservation of our collective natural and historic resources.
The Gettysburg Heritage Center, located at 297 Steinwehr Avenue is operated by the nonprofit Gettysburg Nature Alliance. Stop by any time to learn more about the Nature Alliance and the Heritage Center, and how we are involved in the community.
