First we remove invasive plants then plant native trees and shrubs that can handle both drought and wet conditions. The funding came initially from a riparian buffer grant to help divert storm water in a priority flood zone. This will provide natural habitat for wildlife and migrating birds while native flowering shrubs feed pollinators and flowering native trees help feed other insects. \n \n\nMore about this project\nPhoto Gallery / History\n\nSpecies totals \nWe planted 961 Trees of 14 native to Pennsylvania species from 2020 to 2022. \n225 trees in 2020\, 325 trees in 2021 and 411 trees in 2022. \n275 Shrubs from 8 native berrying species were planted between 2020 and 2022. 100 shrubs in 2020\, 25 in 2021 and 125 more 2022. \nTrees: \n\n183 Sycamore\n150 River Birch\n130 Pin Oaks\n125 Tulip Poplar\n100 Paw Paw\n47 Swamp White Oak\n50 Sassafras\n20 Sweet Bay Magnolia\n25 Black Gum\n25 Black Willow Oak\n25 Red Oaks\n8 Red Buds\n6 Sweetgum\n5 White Pine\n\nShrubs: \n\n50 Elderberry\n50 Winterberry\n50 Black choke berry\n25 WitchHazel\n25 Red Choke Berry\n25 Grey dogwood\n25 Red Dogwood\n25 Spice Bush\n\n \nHistory and Progress of this project:\nWe continually need help tree tending the weeding 1236 Native Trees and Shrubs \nFirst\, in September 2020\, we planted 100 Native trees / 22 Native shrubs with a fancy metal cage and large tree riparian grant from Tree Vitalize. \nIn October 2020 we planted an additional 125 trees and 75 Shrubs from a different grant from 10 million trees in the 2nd phase of the project. \nIn Spring 2021\, in our the 3rd Phase of the Neshaminy State Park Reforestation Project we planted 125 nice larger trees in fancy deer protection metal cages from TreeVitalize. \nIn the 4th Phase also in the spring of 2021 we planted another 200 bare root trees (Sycamore \, Tulip Poplar) in Tubex from a different grant from Keystone 10 million trees. \nIn the 5th Phase in Spring of 2022 we planted 2 areas in Neshaminy State Park with an additional 655 trees. 30 larger trees for a separate grove funded by Excel Events while an additional 600 trees and shrubs were provided through our partner Keystone 10 Million Trees (Chesapeake Bay Foundation). \n\n\n* Project update 5-11-22\nOn Saturday 5-28-22 we are still planting trees and Shrubs.

There are smaller stories of how each specimen arrived at the Wagner and larger stories about evolution\, religion\, and humans’ place in the universe. This guided tour offers a special opportunity to learn more about our specimens\, why the exhibit hall is arranged the way it is\, and how our museum reflects social and intellectual histories of the 19th and 20th centuries. \nThe tour will begin at 2:30 pm in the Lecture Hall with a presentation on the founding and history of the Wagner\, followed by a guided tour of the museum that will highlight the architecture of the building and some of the specimens on display. \nAfter the tour\, you can continue to explore our historic site and museum collections\, including minerals\, fossils\, shells\, insects\, taxidermy birds and mammals. Themed scavenger hunts\, drawing or coloring activities are available to guide you. Stop by our gift shop and pick up a geode to crack open\, polished crystals for your collection\, a vintage tea towel or your own copy of Historic Landmarks of Philadelphia–which features the Wagner! \nThe guided tour runs from 2:30 to 3:30 pm. All ages are welcome but the recommended age is 12 and up.  \nTickets are not required to visit the museum but if you’d like to speed up your entry\, sign up HERE. Advance registration for the guided tour reserves your place on the tour. Please register on this page. Sign-up will be available on the day of the tour if space is available. \nGuided tour tickets are $20 for adults\, $15 for members and seniors\, $10 for students.

Today\, the Wagner offers more programs to more people than ever before! Your support helps us provide free education\, not only through the museum\, but through a wide range of courses\, lectures\, field trips\, and children’s science programs. Donations also assist us in caring for the museum and library collections and in preserving our wonderful building\, which was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1990. To learn more about what we do please visit our website. \n \nRegistration Information\nIn keeping with its original charter\, admission is free—donations are suggested to ensure the future and quality of Wagner’s free education programs and to preserve its National Landmark building and collections. \nGuided tour tickets: \n$20/adult \n$15/member or senior \n$10/student \nFor any questions\, please email tickets@wagnerfreeinstitute.org or call 215-763-6529 x17. \nIf you would like to check your membership status or become a member\, please email KellyT@wagnerfreeinstitute.org or call 215-763-6529 x11. \n \nImages: an overview of Wagner’s Exhibition Hall by David Graham & a closer up view of the museum displays by Rob Cardillo.

SUMMARY:FABSCRAP PHL Volunteer Session: Tuesday\, July 2nd\, AM session
DESCRIPTION:FABSCRAP needs your help to save designer textiles from landfills! It’s easy to learn\, fun to do\, and a safe way to help out.\n\n\nFABSCRAP Philly needs your help to save designer textiles from landfill! Volunteers will sort through fabric samples and swatches\, separating fabric from paper headers and folding large\, usable fabric to be saved for reuse. We moved to a new space in BOK! We are now in Unit B05A. Please review the directions below for visiting our new space. \nWhen registering\, choose: \n\nFirst Time Volunteer Sorter if this is your first time volunteering with us\nReturn Volunteer Sorter if you’ve sorted with us before\n\nNote: If you choose to donate\, please make sure that you also choose a sorter ticket. \nFABSCRAP Philly is committed to keeping our volunteers\, community\, and team safe: \n\nAll visitors are encouraged to wear a mask in the FABSCRAP warehouse.\nVolunteer stations are comfortably spaced apart for individual use (unless you opt to share with a friend)\nCleaning and sanitizing of volunteer stations and frequently touched surfaces will take place between all volunteer sessions.\nHand sanitizer is available.\nWe ask that volunteers cancel their session and stay home if they are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms including fever\, cough\, and/or gastrointestinal issues (see additional info from the CDC). Additionally\, please cancel your session and stay home if you have been diagnosed with COVID-19 or had direct contact with an individual diagnosed with or suspected to have COVID-19 in the past 14 days.\n\nThank you for being part of our work and mission! When you sign up\, please consider donating to keep us operational as a sustainable resource – FABSCRAP is the only option available for the fashion industry to recycle and redistribute unused material\, and the most accessible way for consumers to find saved-from-landfill fabric\, trim\, leather\, and yarn. \nWant to get more involved? We are sending monthly invites to become a Reuse Volunteer to those who have volunteered 10 or more times! Reuse Volunteers help process materials in our Reuse bins after they leave the initial sorting table. It’s a great opportunity to understand the deconstruction of sample garments\, what types of items are donatable or mendable\, and how materials are processed for reuse or recyclability. We monitor our Eventbrite registrations closely. If you think you may have completed 10 sorting sessions and did not receive an invitation to sign up\, let us know at volunteer@fabscrap.org using the email you register for sessions with. \nPlease read below for additional information on volunteering\, including other changes at the FABSCRAP Philly warehouse due to COVID-19. \n— \nWhat to expect: \n\nWelcome: Intros and overview of FABSCRAP (10 minutes)\nTraining: Learn how FABSCRAP sorts fabric for recycling (15 minutes)\nSort: Sort through fabric samples and large pieces\, pulling out usable fabrics for reuse and removing hardware and paper from fabric swatches for recycling (~2.5 hours)\nShop for fabric! (1 hour)\n\n***Sorting fabric requires the use of sharp scissors and moderate lifting (20-30 lbs). By registering for a session\, you are confirming that you have read\, understand\, and agree to the volunteer waiver.*** \n***Volunteer Waver Link Here: https://fabscrap.org/volunteerwaiver*** \nLATE POLICY: Our sorting time is very valuable and we aim to start right on the hour!
