Tree Planting Graphic

Looking to make a difference? Look no farther!

Help save the planet by planting 100 trees in one of our favorite Willistown preserves on May 7 from 9am to noon. Join Willistown Parks & Rec and Chester Ridley Crum Watersheds Association (CRC) at Okehocking Preserve in this effort made possible through a generous grant to CRC from the PA state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and your volunteerism. Willistown Parks & Rec and CRC have been partnering on riparian buffer improvements for 18 years, and we're keeping up with the fresh air fun! Become a part of the legacy, and let the good times roll: Register with Lynn Meza, CRC Director of Volunteerism.
