Saturday Volunteer Service Day

Saturday, October 3 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm

Meeting at Thomas Mill Red Covered Bridge (8901 Forbidden Drive)

Parking: There’s parking near the Chestnut Hill Avenue Trailhead and in the parking lots at Bells Mill Road. Both options will require 10-15 minute walk to the work site, so please plan your travel time accordingly. See map for details.
Bathrooms: None

Would you like to be part of keeping Wissahickon Valley Park beautiful and sustainable? Then join us as we prepare for an upcoming planting!

All are welcome to attend, and no experience is needed. We encourage attendees to work within their own comfort level, and we always strive to accommodate needs on an individual basis. With that being said, this service day may include the following activities:
• Planting site preparation: using long handled tools for cutting, scraping, and digging
• Litter clean-up

We provide gloves, tools, and instruction–you just need to show up! Be sure to wear sturdy footwear and long pants, and remember to bring water with you. Detailed information and confirmation of the meeting location will be sent by email one business day before the event. If you are hoping to bring a group of 5 or more people, please reach out to us first.

Registration is required for all volunteer service days so that participants can be informed of emergency cancellations. Service days are cancelled in steady precipitation or other dangerous weather conditions. For more information contact Marisa Miller at miller@fow.org.
