Ecosystem Restoration Learning Workshops
Sep
13

Ecosystem Restoration Learning Workshops

Join us along the beautiful Tinicum Creek to begin our first phase of ecological restoration Working Learnshops. A chance to learn, work, and commune, these upcoming four sessions will teach vital understanding and skills for remediating invasive plant species in preparation for restoring a degraded ecosystem to a more diverse, native one – skills that can be used on your very own property! Focused on a demonstration-restoration area along Tinicum Creek within a local summer camp’s ground (a 60-acre permanently protected property), we will start by pulling Japanese stiltgrass by the handful and by the truckload. Stiltgrass is so very easy (and satisfying ) to pull, even your kids can do it! This is a critical time period to pull this nonnative and highly invasive grass, before it goes to seed. The areas cleared of stiltgrass will become our palette for restoration planting sites (and future working learnshop series) this fall and next spring.  These demonstration-restoration areas are just the beginning of a multi-year, multi-property effort we’re planning to restore and renew healthy native ecology along and within Tinicum Creek.

To register, email kgermann@tinicumconservancy.org

FOR THURSDAY, September 11th and SATURDAY, September 13th, both from 9:30AM-12PM:

  • Please contact us for the Waiver to Participate. Email it back or we will accept it when you arrive

  • Please try to arrive by 9:20 AM, no later than 9:30 AM

  • We will have work gloves, but feel free to bring your own if you wish.

  • We will be working in a partly sunny area with knee/thigh-high vegetation. Please dress accordingly and use sunscreen and bug-spray as you require.

  • We plan to finish at approx 11:30

STAY FOR LUNCH!
Please bring your lunch if you’d like to join us to rest, eat, connect and learn after we’re done working. This is a new Learning Workshop initiative for Tinicum Conservancy and your feedback is valuable for us to continue improving the experience for all.  

If you need to get in touch: kgermann@tinicumconservancy.org

POOR WEATHER?: Heavy rain and/or thunder forecast cancels! Please look for a follow-up email by 8AM the morning of if the weather forecast is poor.

Annual Bird Walk (+ “Brunch”!)

You are cordially invited to join us for this much-loved local tradition: a guided bird walk on a beautiful, preserved property on Frankenfield Road. Under the expert guidance of local bird enthusiast Diane Allison, we’ll witness first-hand the rich variety of birds that share our woodlands, streams and open fields. In past years, we’ve identified more than forty species, including the sublimely beautiful Sialia sialis (otherwise known as the Eastern Bluebird). How many will we find this year?

 

This year’s walk will start by 8:00 AM sharp when the birds are most active, and will last until roughly 10:00 AM, after which our hosts have invited us to join them for coffee and comestibles. You just bring the binoculars (if you have them), and we’ll supply the refreshments.  Group size will be limited to no more than 20, so if you’re interested in participating, please RSVP to info@tinicumconservancy.org by June 5th so that we can confirm your space and email you details about location.

Presentation: Returning Our Watershed to a Balanced Ecological System
Mar

Presentation: Returning Our Watershed to a Balanced Ecological System

The severity of weather events in our region, causing flooding; damage to trees, land, infrastructure and power lines; erosion of stream banks; and stress on our natural habitats, compels us to seek better environmental stewardship. If we each do our part and come together as a community, there is still time to make a difference.

Local Landscape Architect and Tinicum Conservancy member David Hughes will provide guidance to help heal some of these environmental stresses. He’ll discuss:

• Hedgerow and riparian corridor conservation and restoration

• Creating diverse garden habitats that improve water infiltration and quality

• Planting native species to increase biodiversity

• Proper plant selection to increase ecological tolerance and recovery after periods of environmental stress

• Ways to reduce destructive landscape practices that decrease the lands’ ability to slow down and absorb rainfall

Tickets $5, available at the door or on line at:
