Surpassing Our Goal...with Help from our Friends
As part of our Brandywine watershed reforestation initiative, the Conservancy is aiming to plant 25,000 trees by 2013.
This year, we had hoped to plant 5,000 trees on public and private lands within the watershed. Not only did we reach our goal, we surpassed it by planting 7,650 trees! It has been a very busy fall season with plantings every Saturday. We are incredibly grateful to all of the many volunteers who helped us at each of our plantings this year including corporate volunteers, local Boy Scout troops, Pennsylvania Horticultural Society volunteers, Guardians of the Brandywine, West Chester University students, the Young Friends of the Brandywine, local residents, and many others. We could not have done it without their assistance.
