Perkiomen Plant-A-Thon

The Perkiomen Plant-A-Thon is a multi-month restoration initiative with the goal of planting over 5,000 native trees, shrubs and perennials throughout the Perkiomen Creek Watershed each year!

This watershed-wide conservation effort strengthens local ecosystems, improves water quality and creates important wildlife habitat, all of which would not be possible without our incredible volunteers and corporate partners!
