The Friends of the Wissahickon and the Wissahickon Valley Watershed Association in Montgomery County are joining forces to clean the Wissahickon Creek from top to bottom on April 27 from 9:00 a.m. to noon. 

This spring marks the 43nd  anniversary of Wissahickon Valley Watershed Association’s annual Creek Clean Up, and the fourth year that FOW has teamed up with WVWA to clean all 21 miles of the Wissahickon Creek.

Volunteers of all ages will clean the creek, its surrounding trails, and its many tributaries. Armed with bags, volunteers will be assigned to sections of the creek to collect anything from plastic bags and swing sets, to mattresses and tires.

Following the clean up, all volunteers are invited to WVWA’s Talkin’ Trash picnic held from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Fort Washington Park’s Flourtown Pavilion on Mill Road in Flourtown.
