Dear Friends:
Welcome Ryan and Nagiarry!
Our AWEsome Delaware River Fellows
Geré
Johnson and Christina Maldonado
are on our Philly team this summer, participating in our Tacony Creek Park community engagement, program, and improvement efforts. Last year, each Alliance for Watershed Education center hosted one Fellow; this year, the twelve week program doubled in size! Each Fellow will present their research, findings, and experiences at a Capstone Summit next month.
Connecting Creeks & Communities: Cheltenham
TTF is all about trails -- because trails are a key way to get people next to creeks so they can learn about and protect clean water. We work closely with Philadelphia Parks & Recreation and
The Circuit Coalition, supporting and advocating for
trail links, like the
Frankford Creek Greenway. This spring, we co-hosted a
community meeting in Cheltenham to discuss how to extend the awesome Tacony Creek Trail to and across this upstream community. Interested in learning more and becoming involved? Email me at julie@ttfwatershed.org.
See you soon,
