December 10, 2020 Cove Mountain Preserve Expansion to Help Protect Appalachian Trail Landscape and Views
BOILING SPRINGS, Pa. (Dec. 10, 2020) – One of the most important natural areas in Pennsylvania, the Kittatinny Ridge, will soon benefit from an additional 1,100 acres of protected land within its borders to help conserve important habitats for native species, reinforce climate resiliency and protect the irreplaceable views and hiking experience on the Appalachian Trail (A.T.). In an effort led by The Nature Conservancy and directly supported by the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC) and the A.T. Landscape Partnership, this new acreage will be added to the Cove Mountain Preserve in Perry County, Pennsylvania, protecting a fragile landscape that has been targeted for potential development in recent years.
