205 Acres Expands State Game Land and Ohiopyle State Park
Last month, WPC conserved 205 acres in Dunbar Township, Fayette County that connect more than 37,000 acres of state public lands in the Laurel Highlands. We conveyed a 72-acre property with extensive stream frontage along Bruner Run, a headwater stream to the Youghiogheny River, to the Pennsylvania Game Commission to expand State Game Lands 51. Nearby, a 133-acre property was added to the popular Ohiopyle State Park. Both of these properties now provide more opportunities for hiking, hunting and fishing in the Laurel Highlands. Read more about these exciting land protection projects or view a map of the properties.
