Daily News | 182 acres of farms and woods preserved off Chester County creek
The French & Pickering Creeks Conservation Trust and Charlestown Township, Chester County, recently signed a conservation easement to preserve 71 acres of rolling farm land owned by Robert Berry in the township.About 182 acres of rolling farmland and sloping woods in Charlestown Township, Chester County — all valuable, buildable land within the Pickering Creek watershed — have been preserved from most development under two recent agreements.
Current zoning would allow up to 23 homes to be built on the land. That’s reduced to four homes in the easement, and any of those would be spread out across large parcels — saving 19 homes from being built. More specifically, the Berry property includes 12.6 acres of woods, 50.7 acres of prime agricultural land, and a half-mile of the unnamed tributary, designated as having high quality water by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.The trust works with landowners, townships, foundations and the state and county to purchase and monitor conservation easements as a way to preserve environmentally sensitive land.
