Tree Rescue at Wise's Mill Road, Roxborough

Join WRV crew leader Ron Ayres and PhilaCares volunteers to rescue recently planted native trees from strangling invasive vines. Meet along the low stone wall along Wise's Mill Road just after you turn off of Henry Avenue in the Roxborough section of Philadelphia. This is the same road you would use to access Valley Green Inn. Parallel park along the stone wall. Wear sturdy-soled shoes, bring water and dress appropriately to spend two hours outside. We supply tools and gloves.
