SCHUYLKILL SCRUB
As part of a regional clean-up effort for the Schuylkill River watershed, the May 8 volunteer day will focus on cleaning the riverfront. As the only tidal wetlands on the lower Schuylkill River, trash and debris gets washed from points upstream to land at our shores, affecting not only the view of our visitors, but also wildlife habitats. Join us for a large effort to clean the Schuylkill!

Many thanks to the volunteers from University of Pennsylvania, Villanova University, and Temple University who spent their Earth Day cleaning the Schuylkill riverfront at Bartram’s Garden, which offers the only tidal wetlands along the lower Schuylkill river. With their help, 631 lbs of debris and trash were removed.
ROADRUNNER CLASS AT THE PARENT-INFANT CENTER OF UNIVERSITY CITY: APRIL 24, 2010
Sincere thanks to the students, teachers, and families from the Roadrunners who removed invasive plants in our Garden on Earth Day. According to Camille, a student, “It made me feel like I was a super hero for the plants because plants need space just like people. I want to go back to do another Bartram’s Garden Clean-Up with the Roadrunners and their families.” Thank you!
2010 MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. DAY OF SERVICE
THANK YOU to UC Green and 96 volunteers, the second MLK Day of Service at Bartram’s Garden was a great success.

Our volunteers moved mountains!
12 35-gallon bags of trash removed from the river front
6 35-gallon bags of recycling removed from the river front
1 ton of invasive plant material pulled
We would also like to thank Pete’s Pizza for donating food to the dedicated group. They worked up an appetite beautifying the Garden.
