The Roxborough/Manayunk Conservancy

Our dedicated volunteers recently did their first session with the Friends of the Manayunk Canal. Thirteen volunteers joined them on a gorgeous summer morning, tackling invasive plants and filling 22 bags.
Join us again Thursday, August 13, from 6–8 PM. Stay tuned for more info.

Ready for Two-on-Tuesday? Join us at Boone Park to w**d the wildflower planting, tackle invasive plants, improve erosion-control terraces, and—with a little cathartic 🪓 energy—break down a large fallen stump.

The flowers are already attracting butterflies, bees, and even milkw**d bugs! Last time, we found loads of snails—the bonus of w**ding. Wonder what we’ll discover this time?

Meet at the corner of Tower & Churchview Streets.

Join the morning crew for a gardening session at the Manayunk Bridge Pocket Park. We'll be tending to the garden beds and spreading mulch :) The gardens are looking beautiful this time of year ❤️ Bring gloves, clippers if you have and water ofc.

Our Next 2-on-Tuesday Session
Tuesday, August 4 | 6-8 PM
Boone Park
We’ll meet at the corner of Tower & Churchview Sts.
This park is just down the street from Edling Park, and also features beautiful cliff faces in need of invasive plant management. We will remove crabgrass, mugwort and other w**ds from within the wildflower planting, which has already begun to attract butterflies. We will improve some of the terracing along the cliff to prevent erosion. Also, if anyone has the need for some cathartic destruction, there is a large tree stump sitting in the street that should be hacked into smaller pieces.

Can't make Tuesday evening sessions? Join us tomorrow, Sunday morning for our rescheduled session at Edling Park. We will remove invasive plant species and improve the trail.

😊 We'll see you then—and bring a friend! We make volunteering fun, and having a hand in transforming our green spaces is hella satisfying.

Edling Park is an up-and-coming neighborhood resource — once an impassable thicket, the Friends of Edling have been working hard to open up and beautify this unique green space for the community.

Join us to lop and hand-pull invasive plants, showcase the park’s dramatic boulders, improve the trail to the overlook, and more!
