The Friends of the Wissahickon and AIM Academy of Conshohocken, Montgomery County, invite volunteers to work with them in cleaning the Wissahickon Creek as part of National Public Lands Day on September 28.

Volunteers will be removing debris from Wissahickon Creek from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Meet at the Valley Green parking lot in Wissahickon Valley Park. Parking is very limited at Valley Green, so FOW recommends carpooling, hiking, or biking to this event.

The AIM Academy, a grade 1-12 college preparatory school, provides extraordinary educational opportunities to children with language-based learning disabilities such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia, utilizing research-based intervention strategies and an arts-based learning environment that is college preparatory in scope and sequence.

Students from AIM are participating in this Wissahickon Creek clean-up project as part of the Green Apple Day of Service.

Registration is not required but is recommended in order to be notified of any changes due to weather. To register, contact FOW Volunteer Coordinator Eric Falk by sending email to: falk@fow.org. Workdays are cancelled in the event of heavy rain or snow.
