EVENT FULL

Join crew leaders Amanda and Steve, Haverford College volunteers, and Friends of the Wissahickon, as we continue work on the Sustainable Trails Initiative. Planting begins today for the project! Meet us on the Orange Trail below Bell's Mill Road.

Call Amanda at (215) 951-0330 ext 2176 for more information.

From Bell's Mill Road to the Red Covered Bridge, we will take measures to improve water runoff management, restore trails, and improve the trail to enhance user experience and safety. This project begins in mid-July and will continue through August into September. So there will be additional trail days throughout the summer.

Directions:
Meet at Bell's Mill Road across from the parking lot along the Wissahickon Creek. Parking is also available in the lot along Bell's Mill Road on the Ridge Avenue side.
