A stretch of the Brandywine Creek in Chadds Ford is now flowing freely again following the removal of Hoffman’s Mill dam, a late-19th-century low head dam located just upstream from the U.S. Route 1 bridge in Chadds Ford and Pennsbury Townships. The work to remove the breached dam completes a nearly six-year effort led by the Brandywine Conservancy.

In the late summer, Brandywine staff hosted the first-ever Getting Out in the Greenway event at Bondsville Mill Park in East Brandywine Township, King’s Highway Park in Caln Township, and Lloyd Park, of Caln Township. Township staff, Board Members, and volunteers hosted and spoke at their respective sites to share their history and upcoming plans. We ended the event with a social happy hour on the rooftop of East Branch Brewing in Downingtown to enjoy refreshments and further converse with Greenway members. We thank Township officials, staff and volunteers for speaking!

Watch out for the next Getting out in the Greenway Event in 2027 to highlight more parks and projects!

Every spring, hayfields in Chester County come alive as grassland birds return from their wintering grounds to breed. Bobolinks flutter low over the grasses, singing their bubbling songs as they display, looking for a mate. Having flown over 6,000 miles from their wintering territory in Argentina, they fill the rapidly growing hayfields with sound. Eastern Meadowlarks whistle their songs perched on fenceposts, while Grasshopper and Savannah Sparrows buzz from the grasses. These are some of the species that Brandywine’s easement stewards have been searching for this summer to increase our understanding of how these birds are using protected lands and inform conservation efforts.
