Kimberly Run Preserve is a 260-acre undeveloped property of the Somerset County Conservancy in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. This resource management plan is intended to serve as the primary guiding document for land, water and wildlife conservation and use at the preserve. Kimberly Run Preserve lies just southeast of Somerset Borough on Kimberly Run, and is bounded on the west by four-lane Rt. 219, on the north by the Pennsylvania Turnpike, to the north by Pennsylvania Dept. of Transportation land, and to the east by other private lands along Menser Road. Featuring forests, fields, wetlands and streams, this landholding is intended to conserve wildlife and provide recreation and outdoor education. The Somerset County Conservancy is a nonprofit 501c(3) land trust providing for the permanent protection of land and its resources since 1994. SCC offers stewardship, education and advice for the preservation and enhancement of natural, scenic, agricultural, historic and open space lands. “Conserving the future of Somerset County”
