Adopt-a-Tree Tree Planting Event

Riverbend Environmental Education Center 1950 Spring Mill Road, Gladwyne, PA, United States

Join us with your family to adopt and plant trees at Riverbend. Fall is a wonderful time to plant trees just before it turns colder in the winter months. Planting trees at the preserve helps to provide habitat to local wildlife, combat climate change and helps to maintain our local water supply as the trees we plant keep runoff from heading to the Schuylkill River watershed. Registration is required as spaces are limited. This event is open to all ages. Please bring your own water and work gloves to the event. This is a Riverbend PAY WHAT YOU WISH Event:
