Join Friends of the Wissahickon (FOW) on Monday, January 20, for its annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service Cleanup event. Help give back to the park, its users, the creek, and the plants and animals that depend on a clean park to survive. This year, FOW will be completing a variety of projects around Blue Bell Hill Park, including removing invasive vines and cleaning up litter. This will not only make this area of the park more beautiful, but it will keep the Wissahickon Watershed healthier for everyone.
All are welcome to attend and no experience is needed. The service day may include the following activities:
• Invasive plant removal: bending over, using long handled tools
• Litter clean-up
• Repetitive motions
FOW provides gloves, tools, and instruction. Attendees are encouraged to work within their own comfort level, and FOW will strive to accommodate any special needs on an individual basis. Be sure to wear warm layers and sturdy footwear, and bring a water bottle. Snow or especially frigid temperatures will cancel this event.
More details and confirmation of the meeting location will be sent by email to registered volunteers the day before the event. If you are hoping to bring a group of five or more people, please reach out to FOW. For more information, contact Marisa Miller at miller@fow.org.
Please note: This location will not require hiking to access the work site from the available parking areas. Also, there will be restroom access during the service day.
