Friends of the Wissahickon Valley Talk – 3/19

Friends of the Wissahickon (FOW)’s popular Valley Talks series on current sustainable environment topics returns on Tuesday, March 19, with Social Architecture for Resilient and Sustainable Communities. Philadelphia is the sixth largest city in the U.S., with a racially and ethnically diverse population, but 23.6 percent of residents rate their health as poor or fair, according to the city’s health department. Join Jerome Shabazz, executive director at the Overbrook Environmental Education Center, to learn about its work to demonstrate strategies that promote healthier, more resilient communities in Philadelphia’s vulnerable neighborhoods, with the use of sustainable practices.

Program begins at 6 p.m. at Valley Green Inn. Free for current FOW members and $10 for non-members. Registration is recommended, as seating is limited. Current FOW members can visit the Member Hub or contact Cesali Renn at renn@fow.org to register. If you would like to attend an event, but the ticket cost is a challenge, please contact renn@fow.org to register. A complimentary wine and cheese reception is offered. Sponsored by Chestnut Hill Hospital.
