This virtual program is hosted by Friends of the Wissahickon.
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. Wissahickon Trails Executive Director Gail Farmer will be joining FOW to chat about the creek, conservation easements, and clean water on Wednesday, 4/28 at 12pm. Join us on Facebook or Youtube for the livestream!
