Following a reception highlighting several Conservancy and Partner projects, guests enjoyed a delicious and hearty, fall-themed dinner from the Brandywine's Chef Rumsey. After dinner, attendees heard additional updates from our partners, a presentation on the Brandywine Creek Water Trail, and introductory remarks on new projects the Conservancy will be undertaking in the Greenway with support from the William Penn Foundation.
A special feature of the evening was the presentation of the inaugural Brandywine Creek Greenway Annual Award, which was presented in honor of our recently retired friend and colleague, Sheila Fleming. The Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes Sheila’s outstanding work in creating, nurturing, and expanding the Brandywine Creek Greenway over the past 10 years.
