Tomorrow from 9 - 2 at the Riegelsville library flea market you can learn about how our member Lynne sucessfully raised and released 71 monarchs from eggs she collected in her backyard in an enclosure like this one. Each is probably on their way to Mexico now to start their life cycle all over again.

Only one week left until the Fry's Run Watershed Association native plant sale. This plant, Fireworks Goldenrod, will be one of the many varieties of native plants that will be for sale. You can sure see why it's called Fireworks! It is a great magnet for late season pollinators and a beautiful addition to your fall garden. Join us at the Riegelsville library flea market on September 19, 9 - 2. Look forward to talking gardening with you.

200,000,000+ migrating birds are expected to take to the skies over Labor Day weekend, many of them flying over the eastern portion of the U.S. To help them navigate safely, please turn off all non-essential lights from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. and consider asking your neighbors to do the same. (Thanks to Lynn Township Environmental Advisory Committee / Bird Town for the graphic.)

Water quality is about more than rivers and streams. Across the Greater Philadelphia region, decisions about conservation, energy, transportation, and community development all influence the health of our waterways.

In the article below, we're celebrating the organizations working together to build healthier, more sustainable communities for all.

FRWA was out at Fry's Run Park Friday with Wildlands Conservancy's Stream Team. We have planted about 350 trees there over the years. The older ones don't reqire too much maintenace, but as you can see we had to machete our way in to some of the smaller ones. We cleared some invasives while there. Japanese knotweed, Japanese hops, mugwort, garlic mustard, multi flora rose. Take a walk down sometime. It's a nice place to sit on a hot day.
