One of the dangers in writing about tremendous partnerships is the risk that someone will feel slighted. Hopefully that will not be the case as the following article describes how extraordinary cooperation led to the preservation of close to 25 acres of natural, scenic and historic significance adjacent to Warwick County Park. One of the first steps in the process was the submission by South Coventry Township of a Round 10 Municipal Park Acquisition grant. The application pointed out that this land is important for many reasons including trail linkages, cultural resources, and scenic viewshed preservation. The property borders the South Branch of French Creek at the point where the historic Horseshoe Trail traverses the stream.
