Devil’s Pool Clean-Up

Valley Green Inn 701 Valley Green Ct, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Devil’s Pool is one of the most beautiful locations in the park, and also one of the most popular. The high use of this spot often means an excess of litter left behind that pollutes our waterways.

Contemplative Nature Photography

The Barn at Historic RittenhouseTown 208 Lincoln Drive, Philadelphia, PA, United States

What stories do we create about what we observe? Can we learn to see familiar sights with new eyes?
