Just west of route 202, straddling the Pennsylvania/Delaware border lies a hidden gem in the midst of big box retail stores and urban sprawl. This area is known by locals as "The Valley", but formally as Beaver Valley, and consists of thousands of acres of woodland and farmland. It is treasured for its rare beauties, historic and ecologic significance, and offers an incredible recreational wonderland for hikers, bikers, horseback riders, and runners.
Members from all walks of life have joined together to help preserve over 750 acres of pristine land in beautiful Beaver Valley that is currently slated for development.
We are a group of concerned citizens who understand the value of preserving Beaver Valley.
We aim to put a stop to the development plans on the remaining land held by the Woodlawn Trustees and to preserve the land permanently for recreational use.
We want it to be known that we will not stand for development on this land.
Join us in the fight for saving this precious land before it is too late.
