It’s hard to believe it’s been three weeks since all the love, great music, and community spirit shared during the River Roads Festival in King of Prussia.
 
That same spirit carried into the next morning, when musicians Dar Williams and Susan Werner, Songwriter joined 40 dedicated volunteers for a cleanup of Riverfront Park along the banks of the Schuylkill River in Norristown.
 
Together, they removed more than 600 pounds of litter, helping protect the river from pollution.  Among the usual bottles, cans, cigarette butts, and bottle caps were some unexpected finds—including fishing rods, a car seat, a stuffed animal, a 75-year-old penny, and even a drone. 
 
Big thanks to Dar for her vision and leadership, Rising Sun Presents and to all the volunteers for their hard work, good vibes and commitment to keeping our waterways clean. This is what community looks like. 💚🎶

Music. Community. Conservation. We were proud to support the upcoming River Roads Festival with our first volunteer day at Harriton Preserve in Bryn Mawr, PA.

Alongside Dar Williams, Lower Merion Conservancy, Rising Sun Presents, and an incredible team of volunteers, we helped restore Mill Creek’s ecosystem by removing invasives like multiflora rose, Japanese knotweed, and mugwort, mulching trails, and transplanting native asters. We also loved learning about creek health through a hands-on macroinvertebrate lesson.

These efforts will help strengthen the tree canopy, stabilize streambanks, and improve habitat in Mill Creek and throughout the Schuylkill River watershed.

Huge thanks to everyone who worked so hard throughout the afternoon, and to Dar Williams for inspiring her fans to come together through music and community action. 💚

As a bonus, volunteers earned tickets to the River Roads Music Festival on June 27 in King of Prussia, featuring Dar, 10,000 Maniacs, Billy Bragg, Shawn Colvin, Susan Werner and more.

Stay tuned for more info on our next River Roads volunteer initiative coming on June 28, the morning after the festival.

From concerts to conservation, giving back sounds better than ever! 🎶🌿
