Some people say what the Chester County Republicans really are doing with land conservation efforts is preserving fox hunting for their wealthy benefactors. Maybe that’s what it is; but as long as the land is preserved as open space, especially the land surrounding waterways, its fine with me. Just remember that everybody living in Chester County benefits.
Even if the only people that actually use it are billionaire horse people living on endowments from their ancestors us “commoners” have a real “trickle down” benefit from cleaner air and water.
The recreations of 18th Century bucolic English countryside are very nice to look while driving through the Chester County countryside. You might even catch the billionaire endowmenteers accompanied by their social climber groupies “chasing the hounds” in red jackets.
If watching billionaires playing let’s pretend we’re English Lords and Ladies makes you feel like a member of the “great unwashed” keep in mind that the alternative is watching suburban tract housing.
