The property, located below Waterville, was purchased by the Northcentral Pennsylvania Conservancy for transfer to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Bureau of Forestry. The property is surrounded on three sides by State Forest land, has nearly a mile of frontage on Pine Creek, and contains meadows, mountain land, wetlands, and two small tributaries to Pine Creek. The acquisition and transfer assured protection of the property and public recreational access to Pine Creek. This property represents the NPC's first project since it was founded. The property is now managed as part of the Tiadaghton State Forest.
