193-Acre Conservation Area Now Open in Erie County
WPC protected 193 acres and 1.5 miles of a popular stocked trout stream in Erie County last month. The purchase of this property helps to maintain a forested, riparian buffer along French Creek, the most biologically diverse stream of its size in Pennsylvania or any state in the Northeastern United States. Located just 2.5 miles from Union City, the South Branch French Creek Conservation Area is open to the public for hunting, fishing, hiking, bird and wildlife watching.
