With heavy hearts, the Conservancy shares the message below from the Yeaman family:

“We are sad to report the passing on April 6 of our mother and Delaware Highlands Conservancy founder Barbara Yeaman. We know she especially treasured her full and engaged life on the banks of the Delaware River and her wide circle of friends and fellow naturalists. Barbara accomplished much in her 100 years; as we plan the celebration of her life we will be in touch with further information.”
– Suzanne, Bill, and the Yeaman Family

We will continue to share more about Barbara’s incredible life, work, and legacy in the coming days and weeks. Here is a selection of wonderful articles and interviews that highlight her inspiring journey and lasting impact.
