Struble Trail Deal Reached

by John Lauber on June 20, 2008

The Natural Lands Trust announced an agreement with the owner’s of the Shryock Paper Mill in E. Brandywine Township in Downingtown.  An article in the Daily Local News gives even more detail.  Here’s a link to the PDF they provide.

This is good to see as it extends the trail along the East Brandywine Creek.  As a fly fisherman, I’m hoping we can park near the bridge there again.  With the fencing set up parking along Rt. 282 was difficult, if not, dangerous.  The road will again be open to back end area of Marsh Creek State Park again as well.  It’s not a finished deal as there’s still some easements and approvals needed, but this has been an ongoing issue ever since the land was purchased and the fencing went up.  It also preserves more open space in a rather pristine area that has pockets of developments, but has not become overly developed.

Are you happy that this issue is seeing a resolution?  Let me know.
