Public Meeting: Wissahickon Valley Park Streambank Resiliency & Flood Study

Meeting at New Courtland Conference Center (6950 Germantown Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19119) 
Join us for an interactive meeting for our ongoing Wissahickon Valley Park Streambank Resiliency & Flood Study! FOW and our consultant, Princeton Hydro, will share a brief presentation on the project. Then, we will facilitate breakout sessions to learn from you about what flood and erosion issues you are seeing in the park. 
The purpose of the Study is to identify and prioritize restoration needs along Forbidden Drive and 7 access trails. With Princeton Hydro, we will identify the areas of the park most vulnerable to flooding and erosion, and develop plans to restore water quality, improve trail access, and protect our habitat. 
Free for all to attend. Light refreshments will be provided. This venue is ADA accessible and has an elevator.
