Neshaminy State Park Reforestation Spring 2023

Save to Favorites

1236 Native Trees and Shrubs were planted in Neshaminy State Park from 2020-2022 by Excel Events on the river trail

400 volunteers helped reforest 2.25 acres in Neshaminy State Park, PA. Just north of Philadelphia.
We removed invasive mile a minute then reforested this area back into native habitat. There are still opportunities to volunteer to help out. Tend the already planted 2100 trees and shrubs in cages and tubex. Come volunteer in Neshaminy State park for this Riparian Buffer project. This project helped lessen storm water in a priority flood zone grant funded through TreeVitalize and Keystone 10 Million Trees.
