Natural Lands recently announced the permanent preservation of 458 acres of vulnerable open space in New Hanover and Upper Frederick townships. Camp Laughing Waters, which has been run as a camp by Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania since the 1950s, is now protected with a conservation easement. The Girls Scouts will continue as owners of the land, and the easement — a voluntary and permanent land protection agreement — will ensure the camp remains open space. Public access will be added via a two-mile country trail along the southern boundary of the property from New Hanover Road to Fagleysville Road. Read more here.
