Chester Ridley Crum Watersheds Assn. Seeks Volunteers For October Tree Plantings

As part of its efforts to improve water and habitat quality, the Chester Ridley Crum Watersheds Association in Chester and Delaware counties is hosting three streamside tree planting events in October.  Volunteers are needed to assist with each planting.  No prior experience is necessary.  
CRC will provide a tree planting demonstration at the beginning of each event.  Gloves, hand tools, and water will be provided.  Please wear long pants and sturdy shoes.
