The French and Pickering Creek Conservation Trust has announced the preservation of more than 175 acres in two locations in Chester County. Landowners Ray and Terry Bentley, through their corporation Moose Meadows Properties LLC, have donated an amended conservation easement to expand the protection of the former Alberta Baker Pew property along portions of French Creek that flow through Warwick and East Nantmeal townships. The 138-plus acre property features a mixture of forest, meadows, agricultural lands, and a nearly 5,000-linear-foot, heavily vegetated stream corridor. It borders nearly a half-mile of Warwick Furnace Road, providing a view into a cluster of historic homes and a vast habitat corridor.
