New Native Pollinator Garden Installed at
Black Horse Park!

With funding from the Pennsylvania Native Plant Society and several hours of hard work by awesome volunteers, we planted 11 native wildflower species including milkweeds, asters, and goldenrods.
Over 100 plugs were installed between 3 beds, with a woodchip walking path between them to help invite parkgoers into the garden.

Pine Forest Restoration with Germantown Academy and Fort Washington State Park!

Over 90 students from Germantown Academy helped us restore areas of Fort Washington State Park last week. They removed hundreds of invasive plants including Garlic Mustard (Alliaria petiolata), and Linden Viburnum (Viburnum dilatatum), and planted 6 new Eastern White Pine trees (Pinus strobus) to help restore areas damaged by the 2021 tornado. See more photos of this event here!
