WRV crew leader Susannah and a local Gospel Church Group (through Philadelphia Cares) will gather on Monday, 8/11/08 to identify & clear invasive plants from the forest floor and 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 recommend long pants and bug repellant. We will supply tools and gloves.
WRV crew leader: Susannah Beckett 267-269-7545 (cell) and
