Native Planting and Fall Nature Challenge

Meeting at Forbidden Drive and Kitchens Lane Bridge (see map here)
There is limited parking at the Kitchens Lane Parking lot, as well as more extensive street parking near the Jannette Street Trailhead. Both of these options are a short hike away from our meeting location, so please plan your arrival time accordingly.
There will not be bathrooms available for use.
Would you like to be part of keeping Wissahickon Valley Park beautiful and sustainable? Then join us in the park for a native planting. This one will be a special event in collaboration with the Academy of Natural Sciences for their Fall Nature Challenge! Be sure to have iNaturalist app downloaded onto your phone so we can document the flora and fauna we see together.
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:
• Plantings: bending over, crouching/squatting, carrying up to 20 lbs, using long handled tools for 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 the day before the event. If you are hoping to bring a group of 5 or more people, please reach out to us first.
