Scott Alderfer the chair of our township Environmental Advisory Council writes on his blog, ‘Streamhugger’ about the Penns Meadow rehabilitated stormwater project.

This past Saturday, our township’s Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) joined forces with our local Boy Scout Troop (Troop 131 of Wescosville, PA) to accomplish our goal of planting over 360 aquatic and wetland plants in and around the Penn’s Meadow pond.  Twenty-four boy scouts and 17 parents of scouts got down and dirty, and occasionally wet, while planting the native wetland plants that will provide cover and shelter for some of the wildlife that passes through or resides at the location.  In addition to EAC members, the scouts, and their parents, the work crew also included seven local residents who heard about the workday on Facebook and wanted to be a part of it.
