Description

The Hershey's Mill Barrens is a fragment of a larger and presumably once continuous barrens habitat known in older literature as the "serpentine ridge" north of West Chester, extending from East Goshen east-northeast across Willistown and just into Easttown Townships. Development of the Hershey's Mill community has fragmented it into two grasslands, the one nearer Boot Road being in better condition.
