The Lancaster Conservancy recently preserved 270 acres of forested land in Lower Chanceford Township, York County, creating a new nature preserve. It will be named for the Reist family that has owned the tract for more than 100 years.
The new Reist Nature Preserve connects to a 1,000-acre-plus corridor of Susquehanna Riverlands, contiguously protected natural lands that include Susquehannock State Park, State Game Lands 181 and Brookfield Renewable land donated to the Conservancy as part of a large landscape protection effort.
It includes an important part of the viewshed across Lake Aldred from popular Conservancy preserves like Tucquan Glen & Pyfer, House Rock, Reed Run and Pinnacle Overlook.
