Year of the Volunteer on Schuylkill Banks

2015 was the Year of the Volunteer on Schuylkill Banks! In addition to our outstanding group of new and returning individual volunteers, we had more than 700 people contribute their efforts during group cleanups and other maintenance activities from January through December. This is our biggest annual volunteer count to date!

These groups filled hundreds of trash bags, mulched the greenway, spread gravel, weeded planting beds, repainted traffic arrows and light poles, raked leaves, set belgian blocks, filled in ruts along the trail, and completed countless other jobs to help us keep the Banks clean, green and beautiful.
