CRC, TU , RCSP, Lyondell Partner on Sycamore Mills Floodplain Forest Restoration
Date: 05-21-2007
Ridley
CRC and Delco Manning Trout Unlimited have announced a new partnership with Ridley Creek State Park to rid a 15 acre floodplain with wetlands along Ridley Creek of Japanese knotweed and other invasives, and to re-establish the historical floodplain forest and wetland plants. The site is the section of the Park which begins below the Barren Rd bridge, and lies almost wholly in the 100 year floodplain. On April 15th, CRC and TU volunteers cut and treated vines. On May 5th, Lyondell employees worked with CRC members planting trees along the trees in exposed canopy areas as part of this year's Global Care Day project.

Crum
Working in partnership with the Ridley Park Borough and the Borough's Shade Tree Commission, and under a grant from Boeing Corporation, CRC completed another phase of the Little Crum Creek restoration in East Lake Park along Hillside Avenue. 65 volunteers, including many borough residents as well as employees from Starbucks Media , Starbucks Lawrence Park, and Swarthmore College Rotoract helped plant trees, live stakes of dogwood and willow, and spread seed. The next steps will be some maintenance and watering over the summer, and some more planting in the fall.CRC is also looking into obtaining another grant for stabilizing a severely eroding potion of the channel upstream.
