Love & The Wissahickon
Don’t just be a secret admirer, show your love for the Wissahickon this Valentine’s Day.
Show the park some TLC. There are so many opportunities to improve the Wissahickon for those who enjoy it and the wildlife that relies on it. Come out to an upcoming service day with our fabulous Field Team, meet new friends, and show the park you care with a variety of service projects. Find a day that works for you here.
Or, become a Wissahero and go on a solo mission to rescue the park from litter. And they say chivalry is dead…
Organize your solo clean-up, or bring a friend. Find more information here.
Self-love is forever. February 14 might be for lovers, but in the Wissahickon, we celebrate self-care every day with long walks on its extensive trail system, stopping to admire the little things, and doing the activities that fill our cup: bird watching in the forest, biking down the drive, or reading under a shady tree.
Want to share your love for the Wissahickon with friends? Join us for a Hike and Book Discussion: Love and Giving on 2/17 at 1:30 PM. Our knowledgeable Trail Ambassadors will take you along Forbidden Drive and the Andorra Natural Area while we discuss books about star-crossed lovers and connection. Find a few topical books and register here.
