Chester - Ridley - Crum Watersheds Association

Creek: Crum
Date: March 31, 2007

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.
