Saucon Valley Conservancy
The SVC is a non-profit organization, founded in 1993, dedicated to preserving and maintaining significant properties and to help conserve the natural resources in the Saucon Creek corridor of Lower Saucon, Hellertown, and Bethlehem, PA.
Europeans from Germany and Switzerland began to settle in the Saucon Creek area around 1730. The Lenni Lenape Indians,who lived in the area, called the Creek "Sakunk," meaning place of outlet, where a small stream empties into a larger.
One prominent family to settle was that of Johan Cristoph Heller. They landed in Philadelphia on September 5,1738. Johan Cristoph and his wife, Veronica Lawall, had nine children.
