In 1980 a group of concerned Eagles Mere homeowners banded together to purchase the last of the old resort hotels, the Crestmont Inn, to protect it from commercial development and preserve the natural beauty and its surroundings.  This effort became the nucleus of The Eagles Mere Conservancy, Inc.

     From that single effort, the Conservancy has expanded its activities to include support for a wide variety of nature oriented activities, including education of children in natural sciences, evening lectures, organized hikes along blazed trails, employment of a full-time naturalist, and acquisition of additional lands.
