We invite you to join us for the Green Ribbon Gathering, our signature celebration of conservation and community. Formerly known as the Green Ribbon Gala, the event has been renamed to better reflect the spirit of the evening - welcoming, relaxed, and rooted in community.
For nearly 70 years, Wissahickon Trails has worked to protect the streams, forests, and open spaces that make our region such a special place to live, work, and explore. Support the Green Ribbon Gathering and become part of that legacy, helping to safeguard the natural places that nourish wildlife, bring people together, and create lasting connections to the outdoors for generations to come.
Honorees
This year's Gathering will honor Rick and Carol Collier, whose leadership, generosity, and dedication to conservation have made a lasting impact both locally and beyond. Their example demonstrates how personal passion and professional expertise can come together to create meaningful change and strengthen communities.
