WPA Acquires 2,400 Acres
The Western Pennsylvania Conservancy has acquired 2,400 acres in Clearfield County to permanently conserve forested slopes and streams at the headwaters of Bennett Branch, a tributary to Sinnemahoning Creek.
The purchase includes six parcels that are largely adjacent to Moshannon State Forest and State Game Lands within the Pennsylvania Wilds region.
The land is visible to motorists traveling on Route 255 to the Elk Scenic Byway. One of the parcels includes significant frontage on the Bennett Branch of Sinnemahoning Creek.
The $3.5 million purchase was made possible through a grant from the Richard King Mellon Foundation
