PHILADELPHIA – March 20, 2024– Earth Day is always a special day for Friends of the Wissahickon (FOW), but this year it will be a super mega day. The organization is celebrating Earth Day and its 100th anniversary on Saturday, April 20, with a multi-location service day across the Wissahickon with a variety of projects that help clean and beautify the park.
Sign up to join FOW at one of these five locations from 9 a.m. to Noon:
