 We are very happy to announce that the FIRST official PMBA Volunteer Trail Maintenance Day in The Wissahickon Valley Park on June 23 was a huge success. Over 30 volunteers showed up and helped to re-route a trail that was unsustainable and eroding. Some creative minds  got together and plodded a cool, sustainable path for the new trail section. Lots of rock and other local materials were moved around to form this new trail. The old trail was completely covered and planted with new organic materials.

By the way, the FOW has decided to officially sponsor our future TMD's! They will be providing much needed logistical and administrative support so we can focus on the TRAILS!!! LeBus BAKERY provided delicious cakes and High Point Cafe from Mount Airy provided the coffee. Thanks so much!!! Please make plans to attend our July 28th Day!

What a way to start off our 2008 Volunteer Trail Maintenance Days, which are sponsored by Friends of the Wissahickon!!! 46 volunteers braved the frigid temperatures and tested the leaders' planning, preparation and execution skills. You see, it is difficult to predict how many people will show up in this cold weather, or how well the frozen ground will cooperate with our tools. Thanks to quick thinking and organizing by those in charge, the day went off without a hitch, and we got lots accomplished. All told, at least 167 hours were donated!!
