MLK Day Cleanup: Tow Path Bridge
UPDATE: Here is a map [PDF] of the work site, with driving direction.
On January 17th, join volunteers from Philadelphia and Montgomery Counties on the Schuylkill River Trail — your work will help complete the trail and connect the two counties.
Meet by the Tow Path Bridge (behind the Manayunk Brewery, pictured above) at 9:00 am and to work on removing brush, vines and debris from the waterfront area.

IRG Loves Us Some Park
…and thanks to the folks at Destination Schuylkill River for noticing.
Great work on the pocket park at Canton and Leverington Streets — ready for some planting next year! — and thanks to Annie and Marlene for the “trash tour” or the actually very lovely Germany Hill. If you haven’t seen it, you owe yourself a walk.
Winter is a great time to clear vines, so we’ll be back out for MLK Day. Keep your eyes on the events calendar, and we’ll see you out there!

Love Your Park – Volunteer November 13th
It’s November, but we’re not quite done.
Volunteer a couple of hours this Saturday, November 13th, for Fairmount’s “Love Your Park” Day.
Meet 9am at the pocket park here, at the intersection of Canton and Wright Streets. We’ll rake out the area, tend the hostas we planted this spring, and add a set of mums for some late fall color.
From there, we’ll move to Germany Hill — which looks spectacularly better since last season — and we’ll get a head start on pushing back next year’s vines and prepping the corner of Smick and Fountain Streets for planting.
See you out there!
