The Chester County Planning Commission tracks and reports the acreage of permanently protected open space within the county each year – including farmland, nature preserves and parks – through its Protected Open Space Tracking System (POST).
While there were many uncertainties throughout 2020, one thing that remained consistent is the county’s commitment to open space preservation. This past year, the POST findings indicated an addition of 2,100 acres protected in 2020 – bringing Chester County’s total to 144,000 acres, or 29.7% of the county’s total land protected. More acres were preserved in 2020 than in each of the previous two years, which is a significant accomplishment given the administrative and technological hurdles the pandemic caused.
Keep up the good work. Remember carbon capture by forests
Can you share what is going to happen to Lloyd Dog Park? I see some are clearing the fields. Will the dog park stay as a dog park?
We do not have any information regarding the dog park and suggest contacting the township at 610-384-0600 or info@calntownship.org.
VERY IMPRESSIVE!! Thank you all!!!
Chester County is following through on its promise. Bravo!
