Meeting at Wayne Avenue Trailhead (W Sedgwick Street & Wayne Avenue) Parking: There is street parking available all along W Sedgwick Street. See map for details. Bathrooms: There will not be restrooms available. Would you like to take part in keeping Wissahickon Valley Park beautiful and sustainable? Then volunteer with us on this Saturday in partnership with the Friends of Carpenter’s Woods! This relatively small section of the Wissahickon, while frequented amongst West Mt. Airy neighbors, is not widely-known to many regular visitors of the Park. We’ll be completing a variety of stewardship tasks in the area. 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 scraping, digging, tamping, and cutting; moving heavy objects • Invasive plant removal: bending over, using long handled tools for cutting vines • 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. For more information contact Marisa Miller at miller@fow.org. Register Below!
FOW's mission is to conserve the natural beauty and wildness of the Wissahickon Valley and stimulate public interest therein.
