The meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Nottingham County Park Office.
The Goat Hill Serpentine Barrens, located in the extreme southwest corner of Chester County, is a truly unique and rare natural area. Serpentine barrens are not a common geologic feature in Pennsylvania. The particular soils, which develop from the serpentine rock, greatly influence the plant life growing on the site. Therefore, these barrens are home to many unusual and possibly threatened or endangered species.
People who use, enjoy, and live near Pennsylvania’s state forests often become some of their strongest advocates. This meeting seeks to welcome new volunteers, ideas, and community participation while building upon the dedicated efforts of the Friends of the State Line Serpentine Barrens.
