Newlin Grist Mill is home to a large number of plant and animal species and has 51 unique habitat zones throughout its 160-acre property. Each spring we hold a community volunteer day to celebrate Earth Day and help with a variety of environmental projects. The goal for Earth Day is to involve the local community in our organizational mission to protect the spaces that plants and animals call home, provide quality food sources for native and migrating species, preserve and rebuild native species, and encourage people to interact with nature through recreation and education.
This year projects will focus on trail maintenance and debris pick up (there is a lot to do because of all the snow this winter), maintenance of the memorial garden, installation of bird houses and bat boxes to provide shelter, invasive species removal, expansion of the native pollinator garden for bees and butterflies, and assistance with the reforestation of the property by planting trees.
This year our Earth Day volunteer event is Saturday April 26th (Rain Date: Saturday May 3rd) from 10am-12pm. We hope that you will be able to join us. We have projects for all ages and welcome both individual and groups to join us.
To sign up for Earth Day Call: 610-459-2359 or Email: info@newlingristmill.org.
Due the nature of the projects, pre-registration is required for this event.

Mission Statement
In an area of urban growth, the Foundation maintains open land as a refuge for plants, animals and birds, and for the people who come to enjoy them. In an era of high technology, it offers visitors insights into the vanished life of the rural eighteenth century. This two-fold objective of environmental and historical concerns is combined in a single theme wherever possible. Following the ideals of its founder, E. Mortimer Newlin, the Foundation will strive to enhance its service to the public, while securing its future by managing its finances wisely.
