Time for the @CRCWatersheds Annual Streams Cleanup on March 16. We do this every year and my kids LOVE IT!!! Just signed up for site 187 again. Kids are excellent at getting into small spaces and underbrush.

We're so close to completing our 500 Tree Challenge!

We have already planted 500 trees in 2023 and now we need to plant 500 more (to get us to 1,000 this year!), at $40/tree.

427 trees sponsored, 73 to go. Can you help us reach our goal of 500 trees?

‘Streams Cleanup Site 111’ Located in #WestGoshenTownship, the headwaters of what will eventually turn into Chester Creek. Thanks to all the volunteers who cleaned up this site and help keep our watersheds clean from plastics, styrofoam, metal, and many other forms of litter!

[CRC Watersheds @CRCWatersheds]

We are happy to have volunteers of all ages help with our events! At the Darlington trail, a crew from DePuy Synthes finished up maintenance on the large planting site. We also had some young volunteers come out to get their hands dirty and learn how to care for our trees!

[CRC Watersheds @CRCWatersheds]

The trees we plant are an important part of our mission. We take pride in keeping them alive and thriving with regular checkups and maintenance. Joined by @wawa employee #volunteers, we have the trees along Darlington Trail new mulch and protection from vines and other invasives!

[CRC Watersheds @CRCWatersheds]

We plant a lot of #trees, and one of our favorite practices is using trees that come in these #environmentallyfriendly cloth bags vs plastic pots. We collect the bags and take them back to our vendor, Tree Authority, in #Perkasie to be recycled!
