The Myrick Conservation Center  is located on Route 842, 6 miles west of West Chester and three miles east of Unionville in the beautiful rolling hills of Chester County, PA.  The Myrick Conservation Center is a 318-acre property featuring natural areas that include stream, forest, field and pond communities as well as agricultural land which includes a one-acre organic garden and crop fields that are farmed to demonstrate “best practices” to students of all ages.  These programs are available at the Myrick Conservation Center.

 

Saalbach Farm is located between Route 30 and Kings Highway in West Caln Township, just outside of Coatesville, PA.  This farm is approximately 250 acres and is primarily agricultural land but features a pristine section of Rock Run, a tributary of the Brandywine Creek.  Associated natural areas include forest and wetland communities.  Saalbach farm is convenient for Downingtown and Coatesville Area School Districts.  These programs are available at Saalbach Farm.
