Honorees

At this year’s event, we have the honor to celebrate two partners who have significantly contributed to land preservation and restoration: Ellen Lea and PECO

 

If you have ever driven down Butler Pike in Ambler, you have likely experienced the beauty of Willow Lake Farm. This 108-acre property is preserved forever thanks to Ellen Lea and her family. As a Board member, neighbor, and supporter, Ellen has been an invaluable partner to Wissahickon Trails, most recently, facilitating the final trail connection for the "5 Preserves, 1 Trail" project.

 

Our long-standing partnership with PECO has been instrumental in advancing our mission. Since the 1990s, PECO has collaborated with Wissahickon Trails on numerous projects. Their financial support, expertise, and volunteerism have been pivotal in bringing many projects to fruition including the recent "5 Preserves, 1 Trail" project.
