The Roxborough/Manayunk Conservancy

We are thankful for all who volunteer in our parks!

Today's wonderful volunteers arrived from far away Norman, Oklahoma.

They joined Friends of Gorgas Park through the nonprofit organization Project Philly.

4 hours of outstanding gardening took place - spreading compost, planting, mulching and tending our Park's beautiful Gardens.

This spring and early summer well over 200 people- students, teachers, young & old adults from the neighborhood -have donated several hundred volunteer hours toward maintaining our splendid Central Park in Roxborough Manayunk.

Our Visitors enjoyed the work - and our community very much.

A Fun, Productive effort helped make our Community & Park even more beautiful this June 10th.

Join us for tomorrow’s 2-on-Tuesday Session!

Invasive plant management is on the agenda with hop vines being a prominent species at the site. We are bound to see turtles, geese, and/or herons hanging out in the canal and if we’re really lucky, then maybe we will see the American beaver.
