Best Address: 613 Harleysville Pike, Telford, PA 18969.  Please park here in the lot off of Meeting House Rd.  The pond where we will be working is down the hill on Meeting House Rd, behind Bryce's detailing. 

Volunteers will be helping to hand-pull an invasive aquatic plant from a privately owned pond.  Wading into the pond or kayaking / canoeing is necessary in order to access the plants.  Some waders and boats will be provided, but volunteers are encouraged to bring their own boat or waders if they have them!  Please make sure to wear clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting dirty and wet.  Bring plenty of water and a lunch with you.

Build Your Own Rain Barrel Workshop
Join us for a hands-on workshop where you’ll learn how to build and install a rain barrel at home! Each participant will leave with a fully assembled rain barrel, ready to install and start using right away.

Rain barrels collect rainwater from your downspout for reuse around your home, perfect for watering plants, cleaning yard equipment, or other outdoor needs. This simple, sustainable solution helps reduce household water use while also decreasing stormwater runoff.

All materials and tools will be provided, including a 55-gallon hard plastic drum. Staff will guide you step by step through the building and installation process, making this workshop beginner-friendly.

Join us for a Rain Garden Workshop hosted at Perkiomen Valley Brewery and learn how to manage those pesky wet areas in your yard - including how to install a beautiful and functional backyard rain garden.

Rain gardens are shallow, bowl-shaped gardens designed to capture rainwater and allow it to slowly soak into the ground rather than becoming polluted runoff. Planted with deep-rooted native species, these gardens can handle both wet and dry conditions while providing valuable habitat for pollinators and wildlife.

Our Director of Conservation will lead you through the process of designing, installing and maintaining a backyard rain garden so you can confidently create your own at home!
