Our Precious Land is At Stake
Just west of Route 202, straddling the Pennsylvania/Delaware border, lies a hidden rural gem in the midst of big-box retail centers and suburban sprawl that is deceptively, disturbingly, and increasingly close. One need only make a quick turn away from the congestion along Route 202 into Beaver Valley to find this area, known by locals simply as “The Valley.” Comprising thousands of acres of woodland and farmland, The Valley is treasured for its rare beauty, historic and ecologic significance, and the incredible recreational wonderland it offers to hikers, bikers, horseback riders, and runners.
Citizens from all walks of life have come together to form Save the Valley. Our mission is to help preserve more than 750 acres of beautiful Beaver Valley that are either unprotected or already slated for development. We are a concerned group that understands the value of defending such a valuable natural resource, one that is contiguous with First State National Park.
We aim to stop the development on the remaining acreage held by the Woodlawn Trustees. Our conviction is that the sole best use of this land is permanent preservation as a recreational site, and our message is simple: Development of this area is the sole worst use of it. Please join us in the fight for saving this precious land before it is changed forever and it’s simply too late to act.
