The Friends are celebrating Earth Day and their 100th anniversary on Saturday, April 20, with a multi-location service day across the Wissahickon with a variety of projects that help clean and beautify the park.
Sign up to join FOW at one of these five locations from 9 a.m. to Noon:
-- Bells Mill Road and Forbidden Drive - for a mix of litter cleanup and park beautification
-- Valley Green - for cleaning out stormwater infrastructure
-- Harvey Street - for planting site maintenance, trail work, and invasive plant removal
-- Blue Bell Park - for park beautification, litter cleanup, and cleaning out stormwater infrastructure
-- Ridge Avenue Trailhead - litter cleanup and cleaning up the paved bike path
No experience is needed. FOW provides gloves, tools and instruction. Wear sturdy footwear and long pants, and bring a water bottle.
FOW Volunteer Service Days not only provide a direct role in keeping the park cleaner, healthier, and more beautiful, they’re also fun and a great way to meet like-minded park stewards.

Detailed information and the specific meeting location will be sent by email the day before the event. Questions should be directed to: Sarah Marley at marley@fow.org.
