Franklin Preserve Site Drawing Meeting Notice

Brandywine Conservancy was hired to prepare a site drawing for Franklin Preserve. Their interest is to produce an easily accessible and easy-to-maintain pedestrian trail network for the Preserve that:

  • offers diverse resident and visitor hiking, birding, and outdoor "classroom" experiences for users of all ages
  • links existing neighborhoods, parks, and trails
  • is balanced with the Township's long-term environmental protection and resource restoration goals for the Preserve

The next meeting will be held on Tuesday, February 21, at 6 PM in the Township Building. The public is welcome to attend.

Future meetings are planned for March 20, April 17, May 15, and June 19. These meetings will be held at 6 PM in the Franklin Township Municipal Building.
