“I am collaborating with other centers in my region (Bartram’s Garden, Cobbs Creek) for some of their events, as well as leading events at my center. On July 23, I led a storm drain marking event on 86th Street, from the gate of the refuge to Eastwick Train Station. This event is part of a larger effort by the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary to mark all storm drains in Philadelphia. During the event, volunteers cleaned trash from the tops of every storm drain and added a ‘Drain to Delaware River’ marker, raising awareness of where our water goes.”
