Northwestern Lehigh School District is a public school district in northwest Lehigh County, Pennsylvania in the Lehigh Valley region of eastern Pennsylvania. It serves Heidelberg, Lowhill, Lynn, and Weisenberg Townships. As of the 2023–24 school year, the district had an enrollment of 1,898 students between its four schools, according to National Center for Education Statistics data. It has two elementary schools, Weisenberg Elementary and Northwestern Lehigh Elementary, one middle school, and one high school, Northwestern Lehigh High School in New Tripoli. All schools offer gifted programs and special education programs. In 2004–2005, the Northwestern Lehigh School District completed a Facility Master Plan (FMP) to analyze and document the status of all District facilities. The purpose of the FMP was to determine the extent, priority, and estimated costs of much needed facility repairs. Based on this study, the district engaged the help of many employees and community members to prioritize the needed repairs, renovations, and construction, and align this work with District resources. The mascot is a tiger and their school colors are black and gold. The high school is known colloquially as "Corncob High", a reflection of the surrounding farmland.

Trexler Nature Preserve
Trexler Nature Preserve

The Trexler Nature Preserve is an 1,108-acre county park (448 ha) owned and maintained by Lehigh County in the Lehigh Valley region of Pennsylvania. The preserve is situated in Lowhill Township and North Whitehall Township and the land that comprises the preserve was originally purchased between 1901 and 1911 by local industrialist General Harry Clay Trexler.It was originally Trexler's desire to stock the preserve with big game animals such as bison, elk, and deer with the express goal of saving the North American bison. When Trexler died in 1933, the preserve, in accordance with his will, passed to the care of Lehigh County. Lehigh County assumed title in 1935 and has been in control of the site ever since. In May 1975, the county opened the Lehigh Valley Zoo on the grounds of the preserve.In 2004, Lehigh County reduced its budgets and proposed closing the zoo portion of the preserve. A local group, the Lehigh Valley Zoological Society, formed to assume private control of the zoo under a lease arrangement with Lehigh County. Concurrent with the transfer of the zoo to private control, the Trexler Trust brought civil suit against the County of Lehigh demanding, under the terms of Trexler's will, that the entire preserve be opened to public use and that public funds be devoted to that public use.The county, under pressure from the Trexler Trust, acceded to a settlement in 2006. As part of this settlement, Lehigh County agreed to open the entire preserve to public use and to rename the non-zoo portion of the park from the "Trexler Game Preserve" to the "Trexler Nature Preserve". Since re-opening the entire preserve to public use, extensive efforts have been made to increase passive recreational activities, such as hiking and mountain biking, by building an extensive trail system and archery hunting and fishing by changing cull policies and stocking Jordan Creek. Invasive plants, which colonized large parts of the preserve after nearly a century of range practices, were largely removed.
