Whole Foods Devon Rains Down Funds for Paoli Rain Garden
Date: 06-18-2010
Crum
On June 15th, Whole Foods Devon raised $4,250 during a 5% fundraiser for the CRC to support constructing a rain garden in the Paoli Business District this summer.
Rain gardens are planted areas designed to soak up rain water, which drains from a roof or other impervious surface. This rain garden will reduce stormwater runoff and nonpoint source pollution at the very headwaters of Crum Creek in Paoli, and will serve as a demonstration garden for homeowners and businesses alike.
A big thanks goes out to everyone who came out during this event and Whole Foods Devon!

13th Annual CRC Streams Cleanup was Another Great Success!
Date: 06-04-2010
All Creeks
Saturday, May 1st was a day for breaking records during Chester-Ridley-Crum Watersheds Association’s 13th Annual Streams Cleanup. Braving unseasonably warm weather, an amazing 466 volunteers of all ages removed 14 tons of trash from 30 sites throughout Delaware County. Volunteers weren’t the only ones wading in the streams this past weekend, the most peculiar items in our waterways were: an entire set of bleachers, a TV, a desk, two recliners, four lawn chairs, four doors, a military wheel rim, and 79 tires.
Throughout all 30 sites, the most common pieces of debris were plastic bottles, and aluminum cans. In addition to cleaning our local waterways, volunteers planted 105 trees and shrubs, and cleared 1.5 acres of invasive plants from our streamside areas. CRC would like to express our sincere appreciation to the dedicated site coordinators, local business sponsors, municipal sponsors, public works employees, and volunteers who made this extremely successful event possible.
