East Coventry Township contracted with Natural Lands and Toole Recreation Planning to develop the plan in collaboration with the community. The consultants worked closely with a citizen task force, made up of volunteers. The members of the task force each served on additional Township committees and acted as liaisons to each, including the Historical Committee, Parks, Recreation and Conservation Committee, Open Space Committee, Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors. The group: worked together to review existing data, including GIS maps, local, regional and county wide plans; visited each of the Township’s parks, trails and open spaces to analyze the existing conditions; and, solicited public input through public meetings, facilitated public workshops, an online commenting form and key in person interviews.
