SUMMARY:Exploring Our Urban Watershed
DESCRIPTION:Join Fairmount Water Works and Schuylkill River Development Corporation in exploring the Schuylkill River in a program both on land and on the water! \nWe start at Fairmount Water Works and move through 3 hands-on activities: creating a mural of the historic Schuylkill River\, examining microscopic life in a drop of river water and engaging in a native plant scavenger hunt. \nAfter a brief lunch break (bring your own)\, we will hike down the Schuylkill River Trail (about 1 mile) to the Walnut Street Dock\, where kayaks await. Hidden River Outfitters will give a brief orientation to paddling and then we’ll get into our kayaks and out on the river! \nThis program is geared towards families with youth ages 12 and up. (12 years is the minimum age allowed). \nAll participants must sign a kayak waiver\, and participants aged 12-18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian who will need to sign the minor’s kayak waiver. \nA bus will be available at Walnut Street to take participants back to FWW instead of walking back\, if desired. \nSpace is limited; 18-person maximum. Advance registration required. Minimum age is 12. \nIn registering for this program\, you agree to the following: \n\nWear a face mask that covers your nose and mouth at all times.\nMaintain six feet of distance between yourself and others not in your group.\nAnswer a set of questions regarding your COVID exposure the morning of the program. This can be done online.\nTake a survey at the end of the program.\n\nEmail stacey.heffernan@phila.gov\, Environmental Education Planner\, FWWIC\, for more information.

SUMMARY:“Ripple Effect”: The Ed Grusheski Memorial Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Ed Grusheski had a gentle yet persuasive  positive manner that resulted in cultivating like minded friends\, colleagues\, and communities\, inspiring them to become more actively concerned and committed to their personal use and care of land and water.  Ed did this through promoting education of the history of our relationship of water and how the Fairmount Water Works came to be.  The early 19th Century engineer Frederick Graff designed the Fairmount Water Works to more efficiently and safely supply Philadelphia’s water system infrastructure. Ed emphasized in his discussions and work why it is immensely important to preserve the history and legacy of the Fairmount Water Works and to assure its sustainable future. \nDue to flood damage from hurricane Ida we regret to inform the passenger elevator allowing wheelchair access is out of service until a flood proof replacement is procured. \n\nRob Lybeck\nCascade\, 5/2020\nArchival digital B/W photograph\, 16” x 20”\n\nLIST of ARTISTS\nJoan Becker\nHenry Bermudez\nJames Brantley\nMoe Brooker\nCorliss Cavalieri\nPatrick Connors\nPeter Cunicelli\nThom Duffy\nJung Taesook\nRob Lybeck\nEddy Rhenals\nPamela Tudor\nGary Weisman \nSPECIAL THANKS\nThom Duffy\, Curator\nPamela Tudor\, Exhibition Coordinator\nGross McCleaf Gallery\, Philadelphia\nStanek Gallery\, Philadelphia\nThom Duffy Fine Art\, Philadelphia
