FOW is also seeking volunteers to cleanup the Wissahickon Creek from top to bottom on April 30 from 9:00 a.m. to noon. Please contact Bob Adams, WVWA Director of Stewardship, at 215-646-8866 ext. 14 or send email to: bob@wvwa.org.

This trail project is in conjunction with Philadelphia Parks and Recreation’s Meadow Expansion and is part of FOW’s Sustainable Trails Initiative.
Volunteer work days will be held on April 9, 16, and 23 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Volunteers will help grade trail, build rolling dips, remove invasive weeds and litter, and perform other tasks to support the project.
Meet at Houston Playground at Grakyn Lane and Sequoia Road. Parking is available along the neighborhood streets in the area. Volunteers are encouraged to bike or carpool to the event.
To register, contact FOW Volunteer Coordinator Kevin Groves by sending email to: groves@fow.org or 215-247-0417 ext. 105.
