as a public park. Accompanying the gift of the property was an instruction to establish a charitable trust named the "Janet Johnston Housenick and William D. Housenick Memorial Foundation". The foundation was vested with approximately $2 million (US) and the foundation's purpose was to "promote, protect, preserve, conserve, maintain and enhance" the property in conjunction with an earlier gift of parcel M7 7 2A PKB 0205C in 1986 to Northampton County of adjoining land along Monocacy Creek. Today, the park and the conservation area are commonly known as "Housenick Park". In the will, Housenick's wish was "that the two (2) parks appear to the public as a single entity open to the public for enjoyment of the natural beauty of these park lands, even though ownership of the two (2) parks may rest with different government agencies." In subsequent years, a study was done by Pennoni Associates of the Housenick property gift, and in 2013 trail markers and information kiosks were erected. The trail markers were paid for by funds from the foundation. Information about the Bethlehem Township park system is available at the township's parks and recreation website. The properties comprising the historic estate are notable birdwatching areas, and birds spotted in the Monocacy Creek watershed area are tracked by the Lehigh Valley Audubon Society as well as local colleges. The geology and hydrology connects the historic Johnston properties to other notable birdwatching areas such as Green Pond Marsh, a Audubon Pennsylvania-designated "Important Bird Area", approximately 3.4 miles (5.5 km) to the east. On October 17, 2014, Natural Lands Trust learned that they were awarded the second of two open space grants from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to purchase two parcels owned by Bethlehem's Central Moravian Church. The parcels, M7 7 1 0205 (31 acres/12.5 hectares) and M6 8 1D 0205 (18.34 acres/7.4 hectares) are contiguous with the parcels currently owned by Bethlehem Township and Northampton County. An additional parcel on Santee Mill Road listed as M6 8 1 0204, the home of William and Amanda ("Johnnie") (Johnston) Leckonby until her death on November 19, 2011, was sold to the Friends of Johnston in March 2015. The group, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, is "committed to the preservation, restoration and sustainable adaptive reuse of the estate of the first Mayor of Bethlehem, Archibald Johnston, to meet the needs of [the] community." The 3.26-acre (1.32 hectare) parcel consists of the Leckonby
