The preserve has grown in size since that time with purchases of adjacent parcels.SpecialtiesSharp's Woods Preserve is an island of nature surrounded by the suburban development of Easttown Township. The headwaters of the Darby Creek run through the woods, surrounded by a mix of meadows and marshlands.
