Volunteer for the 51st Annual Wissahickon Creek Clean Up on Saturday, April 24. This is the perfect outdoor event to show your support and love for a clean Wissahickon watershed, while keeping safely physically distant from others.
Volunteer
Family Friendly
The Wissahickon Creek is 22 miles long, stretching from Montgomery County to the Schuylkill River – and we work closely with our friends and partners at Friends of the Wissahickon to protect the entirety of the Wissahickon Watershed.
Local History
Everyone
Teams explore the Wissahickon Watershed in friendly competition to identify as many species as possible during this fundraiser, collecting pledges for each species to help support our conservation efforts.
Birding
Philadelphia and its adjacent counties (including Montgomery!) will compete against other cities in the world to see who can find the most species in their regions. Download the iNaturalist app on your phone and document the species present on Wissahickon Trails properties and help Philadelphia come out on top!
Nature Program
Learn the art and history of early American blacksmithing, and see the smithy forge tools from scrap iron right in front of you.
Join us for a 4 mile walk with your dog and discover the connection between Camp Woods and Armentrout Preserve. Dogs must remain on leashes at all times.
Hike
Join us for a virtual presentation with herbalist, Alison Rohde, to learn about some of the spring's best edible plants, how to ID them, and how to sustainably harvest and use them.
Workshop
This is a unique hike for the serious hiker: an amazing loop-hike connecting various preserved lands and taking you from the creek through woods, fields and farm land. We will go through the Camp Woods, Armentrout Preserve, Briar Hill Preserve, Prophecy Creek Park, Willow Lake Farm, and the Green Ribbon Trail.
All Hikers
Learn the how and why behind catching and banding wild birds, and what gathering information about their populations can tell us.
