BASF recently awarded the Brandywine Conservancy with the Project Habitat Award at the Waterloo Mills Preserve. This recognition is awarded for Quality Vegetation Management (QVM) by land owners and various land projects.
In 2006, an invasive weed management application was initiated by the Brandywine Conservancy in an effort to re-establish and protect our native habitat in our beautiful Chester County region. This is a significant award for environmental management, the Brandywine Conservancy being only 1 of 13 recipients.
Waterloo Mills is a privately donated 170 acre property where members of the Conservancy can enjoy the preserved open spaces, featuring meadows full of wildflowers, wooded area, a historic village, native wildlife and the peace-bringing Darby creek navigating its way through the midst. The preserve has been made available for educational institutions as well from elementary to collegiate levels.
We are proud to reside in a local community that takes responsible actions to preserve and protect our native environment. The Brandywine Conservancy continues to serve Chester County well, expanding their programs consistently with success.
