Plants in Our Watershed
Ethel Jordan Park 347 Cadwalader Ave, Elkins Park, PA, United StatesLearn about the plants that make our watershed healthy with science educators from the Academy of Natural Sciences-and make a tree rubbing!Plants and trees are not just beautiful to look at; they play an important role in keeping our creeks and streams healthy. For this workshop, we will learn about the riparian buffer, or the vegetated area next to a body of water that helps shade, protect, and clean the water. We’ll learn about particular plants and their role in watershed ecology, as well as the importance of trees. We’ll then have the opportunity to make rubbings of tree bark
