The decision to buy the 550-acre Pew Estate was monumental for French & Pickering Creeks Conservation Trust but the results have been priceless!
Join us for an exclusive behind the scenes look at how French & Pickering and its partners purchased the Pew Estate in Warwick and East Nantmeal Townships in 2015 and preserved it as an oasis for wildlife, recreation, history, and community. We'll discuss the purchase and dispersal of the Estate, the preservation of historical structures, including the 18th century Warwick Furnace, the creation of Warwick Furnace Farm and the Thomas P. Bentley Nature Preserve, and the environmental and community impacts of the Preserve.
This lecture will be presented by Cary Leptuck, French & Pickering Board of Directors Member, Ed Rosen, Owner of Warwick Furnace Farm, and Bill Gladden, French & Pickering Executive Director.
This program is brought to you by our generous sponsor PECO.
