The Edwards Homestead Conservation Easement conserves valuable working farmland and borders other conserved lands, helping create a larger area of sustainable space. The property has a mix of habitats, including springs and wetlands that drain into Plunketts Creek and Raspberry Run, a tributary of Bald Eagle Creek. Like other properties in northcentral Pennsylvania, it filters and drains water that eventually reaches the West Branch Susquehanna River and the Chesapeake Bay.
Because it's on a ridge, the property is visible from more than just the township road. People on nearby state lands and the highway can also see parts of the property, showcasing its natural beauty.
