Independence Conservancy Walk In Penn's Woods At Rocky Bend Nature Preserve A Success In Beaver County

The Independence Conservancy hosted a Walk in Penn’s Woods at Beaver County’s newest park, Rocky Bend Nature Preserve in Potter Township. 

Members of the Conservancy led eighteen people on a one-mile hike to explore the scenic Raccoon Creek Greenway with its rocky cliffs, wooded hillsides and quiet shorelines.

Tour highlights included a natural stream bank repair, a grove of giant sassafras trees, and a constructed wetland-meadow. 

Scientists and naturalists walked with the group to answer questions about geology, streams, wetlands, fisheries biology and local history.

Rocky Bend Nature Preserve is a public-private partnership between Potter Township municipal government and Independence Conservancy.
