As part of a TreeVitalize grant, Stroud Water Research Center needs to plant 4,000 trees along Taylor Run, a tributary to the East Branch of the Brandywine Creek, Chester County.

Two tree planting dates have been set-- October 29 and November 5 from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. at the Stroud Preserve, located in East Bradford Township, just outside of West Chester in Southern Chester County.

A tree planting on October 15 brought out over 100 volunteers who planted about 2,000 trees.

The Stroud Preserve is owned and managed by Natural Lands Trust whose staff will be providing maintenance and upkeep of the trees for years to come.

Any time volunteers can take to help with this planting is appreciated. Bring some friends and a shovel.
