Join Philadelphia Parks & Recreation and the Fairmount Park Conservancy for a wetland restoration project in FDR Park.
FDR Park is a 350-acre green oasis in deep South Philly. Once a system of tidal channels and marshlands, the park is now a destination- rich with culture, active ballfields, tennis courts, a skatepark, and network of biking paths. The park still supports a series of lakes and wetlands, making it an important bird area and peaceful refuge. Enjoy the beauty of the lakes, while helping to remove invasive plants and protect young trees.
Projects are led by Philadelphia Parks & Recreation and Fairmount Park Conservancy staff. All tools and materials are provided- including work gloves and coffee!
Plan to wear sturdy, closed toed shoes, and clothes you won't mind getting dirty. Make sure to pack yourself plenty of water!
This is an outdoor event, so we may need to cancel in the event of heavy rain or snow. Please check your inbox the week-of for confirmations. Contact us at [email protected] with any questions!
