The protection of this land adds to a growing mosaic of open space, habitat, and preserved properties that sustain healthy communities and protect the quality of life for the people of northern Chester County and downstream.
“This project is an exciting win for conservation in the region,” said Karl Russek, Conservation Director. “French & Pickering is delighted to help Hugh and Sally ensure the permanent protection of their property for future generations.”
This property sits within the high-quality Pickering Creek Watershed and features important wildlife habitat.
The Willigs are accomplished naturalists who have stewarded their property to support the birds and other wildlife they have shared a home with for over 30 years.
“Preservation minded landowners like the Willigs are the cornerstone of conservation in Chester County,” noted Bill Gladden, Executive Director. “We are also grateful to the Charlestown Township Supervisors whose full support was critical to this project’s success.”
French & Pickering is grateful for the generosity of the Willig Family and their dedication to protecting land and water. The protection of this property is also another win for the longstanding partnership between French & Pickering and Charlestown Township.
