Our New Shed
We now have a shed! Thanks to an Eagle Scout project the shed is finished and already being put to good use by our student interns. They’re filling it up with all our gardening tools and Summer Camp games. Lots going on!
Sussel Park
The connecting trail to Sussel Park is done! Walk along Penn’s Woods Trail to where it crosses Snyder Road. You’ll stay on the trail, pass two houses and down a rather steep hill. Now for your walking pleasure, you can enjoy not only the Arboretum but Sussel Park too all in one walk. Lovely ponds at Sussel and good exercise walking the hill! (If you prefer to avoid the hill you can drive down Snyder Road to the parking area…
Forest Easter Egg Hunt
Forest Easter Egg Hunt a great success! Over 150 people attended including our own Easter Bunny! Pottsgrove High School’s Spark the Wave volunteers planned, organized and carried out a fun event for everyone. Thanks to Kimberton Whole Foods Douglassville for the healthy snacks! They were a hit! Heard someone leaving say, “See, this is what we used to do for Easter at Grandma’s” – ah, family memories and good times in the making! Save Save
Master Plan
The Master Plan was developed by Upper Pottsgrove High School students who were members of the Spark the Wave Club. Members of the club worked not only to develop the plan but also worked with Upper Pottsgrove Open Space Committee and the Township Planning Commission to get our “master plan” approved and partially funded. See the Master Plan and then realize all that’s been accomplished since it was approved. Save
