The Brandywine Creek Greenway

The Brandywine Creek Greenway is a 40-mile-long connected network of natural, recreational and cultural resources along both sides of the Brandywine Creek. It is a regional effort that functions to support local economies, transportation networks, recreational opportunities, natural resources, climate resiliency and sustainability for local communities and visitors.

The Brandywine Conservancy is working to update the goals of the Brandywine Creek Greenway to ensure that these goals support the direct needs and visions of the communities it reaches.
