HAINES TOWNSHIP — The Western Pennsylvania Conservancy plans to apply for funding for a grant to purchase land in Haines Township, south of Coburn in the Village of Ingleby, so it can donate the land to the Bald Eagle State Forest.
The land currently is owned by Ridge Construction Company. It includes a 1-mile section of the abandoned Lewisburg-to-Tyrone rail grade, which currently is a gap in the ownership of the rail corridor.
According to Michale Loop, of the WPC, the rail corridor is key linkage between the Centre Region and the Susquehanna Valley and will also link both regions to the Mid-State Trail.
Centre County director of planning Robert Jacobs said the 265-acre parcel contains a key component of potential trail system in Penns Valley, so securing the section is a step toward completing that. Jacobs also noted that Penn Creek is located on the property.
“It will provide additional access to trout fishing on that stretch of the stream to the Bald Eagle State Forest,” said Jacobs.
