Trust Receives $329,000 DCNR Grant Award
On December 14, 2011, Governor Corbett Announced a $31.5 Million Investment in Recreation, Conservation, and Community Revitalization Projects Statewide.
This investment in 218 conservation and recreation projects designed to protect natural resources and revitalize communities across the state included a $329,000 grant to the French & Pickering Creeks Conservation Trust for the acquisition of a conservation easement on approximately 58 acres at Thorncroft Therapeutic Horseback Riding Center in East Goshen Township. The easement provides for open space, passive recreation, greenway expansion and stream protection. This grant is a partial match for the previously awarded Chester County grant in the amount of $474,000.
