Invasive Plant Removal - Meadowbrook Run at Sacred Heart Academy

Thursday, November 4th, 4:00pm - 5:30pm

Volunteers needed! DCVA has been supporting the restoration of Meadowbrook Run on the Sacred Heart Academy property in Bryn Mawr since 2017. On Thursday, November 4th we will be partnering with the Penn State Extension Master Watershed Stewards to continue tackling invasive plant removal in this important wetland habitat. Invasive plant removal orientation led by Master Watershed Stewards will begin promptly at 4pm.

We recommend wearing pants, boots, gloves, insect spray and sun protection. Be sure to also bring water to stay hydrated, and pruning or digging tools if you have them.

DCVA has partnered with Audubon on a project to restore Whitby Meadow, located in Philadelphia's Cobbs Creek Park, to improve conditions for birds, pollinators, and other wildlife in this important green space on the edges of both Philadelphia and Yeadon. The aim of the project is to restore native plants that provide food and habitat, improve plantings along the creek to reduce erosion and restore creek health, and reduce plastic pollution and trash.  We know that with these efforts Whitby Meadow can become an oasis for wildlife and the surrounding communities - but we need your help! Please join us to plant trees in this important riparian buffer. Bring your own gloves (or we will have gloves on hand for you!), and we will provide tools.
