A historic, 24-acre farm has been preserved as the result of a voluntary conservation agreement between Raymond and Kathleen Nester and the French and Pickering Creeks Conservation Trust. The property, located along Halteman Road, boasts a mature hardwood forest and 1,200 feet of Pigeon Creek. Chester County granted French & Pickering $128,300 for the acquisition of an easement. Additional funding of $118,465 came from East Coventry Township’s dedicated open space funds.
