Lunch-and-Learn: Plastic-Free July

By

Join us for a community discussion about how we can all take steps to reduce the amount of plastic we use in our lives and thereby protect our waterways, oceans, and planet. Inspired by https://www.plasticfreejuly.org/, we will share what members of the Willistown Conservation Trust staff are doing — at work and at home — to cut down on plastic consumption. We look forward to hearing from YOU, our community of conservationists, about the things you are doing in your lives to kick the plastic habit.

Bring your own lunch (in a reusable, recyclable, or recycled container, of course!) and participate in this important conservation conversation.

This event is FREE, but please pre-register so we know how many seats we’ll need.

Ashbridge Preserve Tree Planting

By

Become a steward to the land and water by planting trees along Ridley Creek with Willistown Conservation Trust! And have fun, too!

As human development expands, Ridley Creek is increasingly inundated with excessive stormwater runoff and sediment from erosion, reducing stream health and threatening the environmental and recreational value of this waterway.

Streamside trees, also known as riparian forest buffers, can combat these threats by filtering stormwater runoff and stabilizing streambanks, thereby improving water quality and reducing erosion. To this end, Willistown Conservation Trust, a land trust with nearly 40 years of history preserving and managing natural land, has received $55,600 to plant 5 acres of trees along Ridley Creek.

You can help protect Ridley Creek from stormwater pollution and transform our natural landscape for generations to come simply by planting trees with us!

At this fun and rewarding event, you will make a positive impact on your community and stream health, network with like-minded neighbors, and learn about the value of streamside forests. This is an excellent community service and learning opportunity for anyone from individual volunteers, to corporate groups, to faith communities, to schools!

This is just the first of what will be several tree planting and stewardship events organized by Willistown Conservation Trust as we work to plant 5 streamside acres with trees!
