SUMMARY:Hills of the Wissahickon Watershed
DESCRIPTION:Meet at Blue Bell Park. Free parking. Also accessible via SEPTA bus route 65. \n(This is a two-hour\, two-mile loop hike over trails\, roads\, and some hills. Wear sturdy shoes or hiking sandals. All ages 8+ are welcome. Maximum group size 15.) \nJoin local “Rocks Burrow” resident and Fairmount Water Works environmental educator Sandy Sorlien as we tromp the wooded valley of the Wissahickon and Monoshone Creeks. We’ll learn the history\, engineering\, and ecology of several special sites. First we’ll walk downhill through the forest overlooking Forbidden Drive along with “Wiss”. A short walk up the Monoshone brings us to Rittenhouse Town\, where the creek\, also known as Paper Mill Run\, provided water power in the 18th and 19th centuries to run the first paper mill in British North America Then and today\, the Monoshone has collected stormwater runoff from the steep hills on both sides. Today we can see the contrast of wooded Fairmount Park on one side of Lincoln Drive and urban conditions on the other. We will cross the creek to Saylor Grove\, a 3.2 acre park where more than half is a manmade wetland created by the Philadelphia Water Department to help manage stormwater runoff. This is a beautiful site with a diversity of plants and wildlife\, including seasonal butterflies and waterfowl. \nYour guide will put all these sites into a context of the larger Schuylkill River watershed\, the urban water use cycle\, the historic role of dams and mill races\, and the ecology of our local streams. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Leave it to Pigment
DESCRIPTION:Do you wonder why leaves are green in the spring and summer\, but change to red\, yellow and orange in the fall?  How do trees use water and how does that change in the winter?   \nWe’ll investigate the different colored pigments in leaves\, identify different leaves\, and perform an experiment to show how one color is really made up of many different colors. Learn about the science of chromatography and make your own chromatogram.\n \nJoin us for this autumnal Science Saturday.

SUMMARY:A Walk Along the Schuylkill River
DESCRIPTION:Current History: A Walk Along the Schuylkill River (Conshohocken) \nOnly a few decades ago\, the Schuylkill River ran black with coal silt and no fish could survive. Yet now it is the 2014 Pennsylvania River of the Year! New fishways have been built over four dams\, and the American shad have returned to the cleaner waters. If you’re not familiar with this restored Schuylkill flowing through Conshohocken\, you’re in for a pleasant surprise. \nThe tour begins with a display of historic photographs at the Outbound Station coffee shop on the Schuylkill River Trail\, to visualize the Borough’s role in the 19th century Schuykill Navigation System of dams and canals\, and later the P&R railroad.  Next we’ll go out on the Fayette Street Bridge for a panoramic view\, then down along a riverfront path past the forlorn floodplain site of a 25-year eminent domain battle\, to the spanking new Conshohocken Rowing Center. The return route along Elm and Hector Streets takes us through a revived neighborhood. We’ll learn how land use\, street design\, and urban patterns affect the health of the river\, and what Conshohocken is doing with Green Infrastructure to filter stormwater runoff\, the main polluter of our drinking water source today. Along the route we’ll note the historic architecture of the riverfront area\, from mill worker housing to Washie’s Firehouse. \nOur guides have a special perspective on the industrial and environmental connections among the region’s river towns\, having led tours at the landmark Fairmount Water Works as well as Manayunk\, Norristown\, Phoenixville\, and Conshochocken. \nSpace is limited to 15 people. \nRegister.

SUMMARY:Annual World Habitat Day
DESCRIPTION:Join the United Nations Association (Philadelphia Chapter) for a special showing of the film “Urbanized”\, a documentary that explores the diverse range of new city design projects from around the world. \nFollowing the film\, there will be discussion\, Q&A\, and a networking reception. \nClick here for the full event flyer. \nTo RSVP\, email info@una-gp.org. \n\nAbout “Urbanized”\nUrbanized is a feature-length documentary about the design of cities\, which looks at the issues and strategies behind urban design and features some of the world’s foremost architects\, planners\, policymakers\, builders\, and thinkers. Over half the world’s population now lives in an urban area\, and 75% will call a city home by 2050. But while some cities are experiencing explosive growth\, others are shrinking. The challenges of balancing housing\, mobility\, public space\, civic engagement\, economic development\, and environmental policy are fast becoming universal concerns. Yet much of the dialogue on these issues is disconnected from the public domain.\n \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Norristown Around-the-Island Tour
DESCRIPTION:Norristown Around-the-Island Tour \nCircumnavigate Barbadoes! Did you know the largest island in the entire 130-mile Schuylkill River lies between Norristown and Bridgeport? Barbadoes was part of the original manor owned by William Penn\, Jr. that included the “Town of Norris”. On this one-of-a-kind tour\, we will hike and paddle from Norristown to Bridgeport and back\, viewing all “coasts” of Barbadoes while soaking up riverfront lore. \nStarting from Riverfront Park near the West End Historic District\, we’ll walk along the former railway Schuylkill River Trail across Stoney Creek to the Dekalb Street Bridge. After crossing the bridge\, we’ll visit the Norristown Dam Fishway before launching our dragon boat from the Upper Merion Boat Club dock. Knowledgeable local guides will provide background on Norristown’s important historic\, environmental\, and recreational connections to its river\, our drinking water source. The walk is approximately two miles and the paddle is approximately a half mile. \nHighlights of the route: \n-Elevated views of the Schuylkill River and Stoney Creek \n-Norristown Arts Center\, adaptive reuse \n-site of McCredy’s Mill\, first large industry in Norristown \n-1932 brick P&R Railroad Station \n-Montgomery County Courthouse and Courthouse Square \n-river views from DeKalb Street Bridge pedestrian walkway \n-site of Norristown Canal on Bridgeport side\, part of 19c Schuylkill Navigation System \n-new Norristown Dam Fishway that enables the return of the American shad to our waters \n-a short voyage in a dragon boat\, around the northern tip of Barbadoes Island back to our starting place.  Beginners and children 12 and older welcome! \nSpace limited to 15 people. Meet at Riverfront Park. Register. \n

SUMMARY:Hills of the Wissahickon Watershed
DESCRIPTION:Meet at Blue Bell Park. Free parking. Also accessible via SEPTA bus route 65. \n(This is a two-hour\, two-mile loop hike over trails\, roads\, and some hills. Wear sturdy shoes or hiking sandals. All ages 8+ are welcome. Maximum group size 15.) \nJoin local “Rocks Burrow” resident and Fairmount Water Works environmental educator Sandy Sorlien as we tromp the wooded valley of the Wissahickon and Monoshone Creeks. We’ll learn the history\, engineering\, and ecology of several special sites. First we’ll walk downhill through the forest overlooking Forbidden Drive along with “Wiss”. A short walk up the Monoshone brings us to Rittenhouse Town\, where the creek\, also known as Paper Mill Run\, provided water power in the 18th and 19th centuries to run the first paper mill in British North America Then and today\, the Monoshone has collected stormwater runoff from the steep hills on both sides. Today we can see the contrast of wooded Fairmount Park on one side of Lincoln Drive and urban conditions on the other. We will cross the creek to Saylor Grove\, a 3.2 acre park where more than half is a manmade wetland created by the Philadelphia Water Department to help manage stormwater runoff. This is a beautiful site with a diversity of plants and wildlife\, including seasonal butterflies and waterfowl. \nYour guide will put all these sites into a context of the larger Schuylkill River watershed\, the urban water use cycle\, the historic role of dams and mill races\, and the ecology of our local streams. \nRegister here.
