Meeting at Forbidden Drive and Thomas Mill Red Covered Bridge

Both main parking options require a 10-15 minute walk (up to .7 miles) to the work site, so please plan your travel time accordingly.
There are porta potties on Bells Mill Road available for use.

Would you like to be part of keeping Wissahickon Valley Park beautiful and sustainable? Then join us along Forbidden Drive as we clear drains to maintain proper water flow, prevent erosion, and support the health of both the trails and surrounding ecosystems by reducing the risk of water damage to the landscape.

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:

• Drain-clearing: carrying and using long handled tools
• Repetitive motions

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 the day before the event. If you are hoping to bring a group of 5 or more people, please reach out to us first. For more information contact Marisa Miller at miller@fow.org.
