About Us

CFACE (Chester Countians For A Clean Environment) is a 501c3, nonprofit community group formed to ensure that Chester County, PA remains a beautiful, clean, quiet and safe place.

The volunteer non-profit organization was formed officially in 2004 to resist a large proposed substrate producing operation on the DuBosq farm on Guernsey Road. Many in the group had been engaged in previous community efforts to resist inappropriate development that included a racetrack in a residential area, an open air infectious waste incinerator, an improperly situated water tower, and others. 

CFACE is committed to promoting open space and preserving farm operations as the most effective means for protecting the local air and water quality above and below the surface. It seeks to broaden the understanding and awareness of the challenges of farming today in the effort to keep it integral to the fabric of the long standing character of our area. CFACE is a friend of farming and a willing champion for a clean environment.

Initially CFACE’s efforts had been focused on resisting two large-scale substrate production operations in separate locations on Guernsey Road. The non-profit is now developing programs for farmland preservation, raising the awareness of farming challenges, and designing workshops for smaller scale environmental efforts like beekeeping and composting.

CFACE is administered by a volunteer Board of Directors and all funds are raised through donations and fundraising events.
