Conservation & Restoration
FOW strives to protect the long-term natural beauty and wildness of the Wissahickon Valley Park.
To accomplish this, we implement various projects aimed at encouraging balanced regeneration of native plant and wildlife species and at preserving the man-made trails, bridges and other structures inside the park. In doing so, FOW seeks to provide effective access for the growing number of park users and to enhance their appreciation of the many natural and historical aspects of this unique urban park.
We invite volunteers to participate in different aspects of this work, including trail building and restoration; wildlife and water monitoring; structure restoration; Wissahickon interpretation and user education.
