State moves to create large new preserve near Norwich
The State of Pennsylvania pursues purchase of the Goodyear tract along Potato Creek, about 12 miles from Smethport, to form a 904-acre preserve. The plan includes 5000 acres of timbered land, restoration of deer and bear, and construction of a wardens residence, with fencing and fire breaks. Norwich Lumber Co. operations and a major reforestation project are tied to the timeline, and the Norwich area faces significant changes as the preserve develops.
