Friends Of Wissahickon Celebrate Earth Day And Their 100th Anniversary With Super-Mega Service Day April 20

Earth Day is always a special day for
Friends of the Wissahickon, but this year it will be a super mega day in Philadelphia. 

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.
