The Beaver Valley Conservancy is a group of people who have joined forces to help preserve 324 acres of beautiful open spaces.
The property belongs to Woodlawn Trustees in Wilmington, Del., but is under agreement with 3 developers for town homes, 55+ community, single family homes and a commercial aspect with a 180,000 square foot big box store.
The property is between Beaver Valley Road and Rte 202 South in Concord Township, Pa. The property has been used as a wildlife refuge for over 50 years. This property has been used for many generations for mountain biking, dog walking, hiking, horseback riding and enjoying nature. It supports many wildlife species including fox, deer, raccoons, turtles, hawks, owls and bald eagles. The Concervancy’s mission is “To protect and preserve the natural beauty, wildlife and open space in Beaver Valley for the enjoyment of people in Concord Township and surrounding communities now and for generations to come. To educate the public on development plans through publications, online communications and word of mouth.” Concord Township supervisors are holding a public meeting scheduled for 7 p.m., Tuesday, May 14.
We would like the residents to be made aware of this meeting so that they may voice an opinion regarding the rezoning necessary for this developing to occur. There was a preliminary meeting held Oct. 2, 2012 that was continued until this May 14 date.
Many Garnet Valley resident have no idea of this pending change. The goal is to NOT allow rezoning. It would be a bonus if we could have this property as an extension of Delaware’s National Monument since the property is adjacent to the Delaware parcel recently granted this status. Concord Township is losing precious open space at horrible speeds. We believe the residents would prefer keeping the open spaces. But they need to be made aware of it. We have a FB page: BeaverValleyConservancy; website: www.BeaverValleyConservancy.org and a group linked from us: SavetheValley.org.
What a crime to destroy this beauty!
