Greetings Willistown Parks & Recreation Friends,

Willistown Township is updating our Comprehensive Plan, Guidelines for Growth. This Plan looks at Willistown’s history, considers current conditions, and charts a vision for the future, including how to grow, develop, and improve facilities and services.

We want to hear from you! The 10 minute-survey will help us prioritize and improve current services, infrastructure, and facilities and plan for future needs. The survey is open to residents as well as non-residents.

Each Willistown household will receive a paper survey in the mail. Please only fill out one survey per household.

Take the survey now.

Your opinion matters! Thank you for participating.

See you in the preserve!

Mary

Although our summer camp programs have been cancelled due to Great Valley School District closing their facilities for the summer, our fall sports camp registration is open: 
Register for Thursday night fall T-Birds T-Ball for 3-5 years-old.
Register for Saturday morning fall Hummingbird Soccer for 3-5.5 years-old.

Willistown Township's Fox Hollow and Duffryn Trails and Okehocking, Serpentine, and Sugartown Preserves remain open. Please abide by our signage! 
Regular use of hand sanitizer is recommended along with avoiding touching your face, eyes and nose; covering your nose and mouth when coughing and sneezing with a tissue or flexed elbow; and if you are sick, staying at home. (Note: Greentree, Rita Reves, and Mill Parks and playgrounds are closed.) 

May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month. It's easy to have fun outside and be safe too! 
Follow the Tick Prevention Tips above and find out more from the PA Department of Health. You can receive free basic testing on ticks found on you and your pets from The Pennsylvania Tick Research Lab. 

The invasive Spotted Lanternfly looks like this right now. Please notify Mary of any sightings on Township lands! 
The Spotted Lanternfly has spread throughout Pennsylvania since its discovery in Berks County in 2014. It feeds on the sap of many different plants including grapevines, maples, black walnut, and more. If you see a Spotted Lanternfly on any Willistown trails or in our preserves, please email Mary the location on the property and if you were able to kill the insect. Check out our Stewardship Bulletin for more information including a monthly management calendar. For questions about the lanternfly, info, and to report sightings, contact Penn State Extension at 1-888-422-3359.
