Meeting at Ten Box

Parking: Park at Historic RittenhouseTown or along nearby neighborhood streets and walk down the paved path marked on this Google map to our meeting location.
Bathrooms: None

Join us for a special Friday evening volunteer event! We’re partnering Philadelphia’s City Planning Commission and The Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia to steward the paved Wissahickon path, a popular thoroughfare that runs through the southern section of Wissahickon Valley Park. At the end of this service event, all are invited to stay for Parks on Tap at Historic Rittenhouse Town!

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:

• Trail work: using long-handled tools for digging, raking, and scraping; moving heavy objects
• Invasive plant removal: bending over; using long handled tools for cutting
• 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.
