Mission Statement
The Wissahickon Restoration Volunteers (WRV) is an organization dedicated to the preservation of the beauty and wildness of the Wissahickon Valley through environmental restoration. A goal of WRV is the sustainable use of the valley as a natural resource by educating members of the community on responsible environmental stewardship through experiential learning.
Description
WRV coordinates a community-based ecosystem management program that relies on volunteers to implement the hands-on restoration activities. WRV routinely engages in the control and removal of invasive species, native plant conservation, reforestation, trail maintenance, preservation of wildlife habitat, and trash removal to protect the natural character of the valley. Both individuals and groups are welcome to become involved.
