  • Clean Up Day Recap: North Bailey clean up went really well. We had 5 people, including one new person. We need to stage a larger clean up effort early next year and involve public works, fire company, and PD to haul large items up the hill and keep volunteers safe.
  • Art in the Park: Liz and Kim hosted an unannounced pop up which went well with a few attendees. The announced event attracted a large number of attendees. So far, so good. A few more volunteers would be helpful. Liz did a great job of organizing projects and supplies. Projects will be exhibited at the Coatesville Library.
  • Brandywine Creek Greenways Debrief: Helen, Sam, Anne, Abbey, and Don represented the township at the Greenway luncheon. We exchanged ideas with other municipalities and learned about their projects.
  • Riparian Buffer Training Debrief: Helen, Sam, Anne, Brett, and Abbey went to a training by the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay about caring for riparian buffers. We learned a lot and made some good contacts. Abbey made a “buffer bucket” with supplies for buffer maintenance as a result of the training. The workbook from the training will be in the bucket so anyone can use it. The part time staff are doing maintenance now on the buffers.
  • Summer series update: June 21st is our first summer series movie night with Mutant Mayhem, with martial arts schools, and pizza from Caln Pizza. Start time will be 7:30 so we will arrive at 6:30.
