State Rep. Melissa Shusterman (D-157) said $1 million has been awarded in Community Conservation Partnerships Program funding to Willistown Conservation Trust. The grant will be used to secure the acquisition of 90 acres of green space in Willistown Township to establish the Kestrel Hill Preserve. The preserve will offer hiking, running and horseback trails along with protected habitats for local birds and other wildlife. The funds are administered by the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources’ Community Conservation Partnerships Program, known as C2P2.
