Habitat Restoration at Little Whtiby Meadow on Sun, 4/12, 2-4pm

[Larry Szmulowicz]

 Dear Friends and Neighbors,

Do you like biodiversity? Me, too! Put your values into action by helping to restore Little Whitby Meadow on Sunday, April 12, 2 - 4pm. 

The goal of this event is to support the Whitby Meadows Ecological Restoration project, which is being headed up by Audubon Mid-Atlantic.

We will be focused on repairing the enclosures protecting young trees that were planted by Audubon over the last couple of years.

Accessibility Note: Attendees will need to navigate over two above-ground pipes (about 3 feet in diameter) that currently bisect the meadow. (The pipes are temporarily diverting flow from underground sewer lines, which are being relined.)  You can cross the pipes by sitting on top and swinging your legs over. Because of this, the meadow is currently not accessible for those with mobility aids and limited lower-body mobility. I will of course be right there to offer a steadying hand to anyone who needs it while crossing!

Please REGISTER here.

When? Sunday, April 12, 2-4PM

Where? We will meet at the entrance gate to Little Whitby Meadow located here.

- If you are coming from Philadelphia, go to the intersection of Cobbs Creek Pkwy and Whitby Ave. Walk west on Whitby Ave. towards Yeadon. Walk on the south-side of Whitby Ave. because the north-side does not have a continuous sidewalk. After you cross the bridge over Cobbs Creek, you will see a gate on the north-side of the street. Carefully cross the street to the gate.

What to bring? Nothing except your enthusiasm! All equipment, including work gloves, will be provided. 

What to wear? It is strongly recommended that you wear long pants and closed-toe footwear, as there may be overgrowth in the areas where we will be working.

Please feel free to email me with any questions at larryco...@gmail.com. 

Hope to see you!
