Beaver County
The Beaver County Natural Heritage Inventory is a joint effort of the Pennsylvania Department of Community Affairs, the Beaver County Planning Commission and the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy. Its purpose is to provide the county and state with a useful tool for planning development and for setting protection priorities for significant natural heritage resources in Beaver County. It is, however, only a preliminary report of the important areas in Beaver County. Further investigation is needed and therefore this inventory should not be viewed as the final word on this subject of natural heritage areas in the county.
The inventory is part of a statewide effort to document the living resources in the state. By knowing the significant resources in each county we can then know the most significant areas in the state.
