The nonprofit Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education announced the gift Wednesday that will be used to preserve what's known locally as the Boy Scout tract.
After months of fighting and community backlash over the potential sale and residential development of the Boy Scout Tract, a 24-acre plot of land owned by the Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education, the organization will permanently preserve the land thanks to a $3 million anonymous donation. The donation requires the Schuylkill Center to place the Boy Scout Tract under a conservation easement, which should take up to nine months before the organization is eligible to receive the funding.
