Description

The Rachel Carson Homestead Association (RCHA) has operated as a private, non-profit corporation since 1975 and owns the birthplace and first home of scientist and author Rachel Carson in Springdale, Pennsylvania.

The Mission of the RCHA is to preserve, restore and interpret Rachel Carson’s birthplace and early home and to design and implement educational resources in keeping with her environmental ethic:

Live in harmony with nature

Preserve and learn from natural places

Minimize the impact of man-made chemicals on natural systems of the world

Consider the implications of human actions on the global web of life.
