Pennsy Trail Update
Advertisement
The planning for the Pennsy Trail extension is well underway. The extension will include a pedestrian bridge over Manoa Rd. The completed trail will extend from the YMCA on Eagle Road to the Llanarch
Shopping Center on West Chester Pike. This trail will make Havertown more pedestrian friendly and allow children to walk safely to school and township parks.
Construction will begin early next year and be completed by Fall 2021. Invasive Removal Project
This summer, over seven days, we had over 150 volunteers remove invasive plant species from our
Township’s trail system. Volunteers cut vines off of trees on the Darby Creek Trail, they cared for over 150 trees at Haverford Reserve which are vital for the riparian buffer; and they removed several different types of species on the Pennsy Trail from Harvard
Road to Princeton Road.
We are just getting started and we need your help!
We will continue our effort to fight invasive species this Fall. Without a large network of people constantly controlling these plants, they will continue to ravage our parks and trails.
Get involved! Our work this Fall will include tree plantings and more invasive species removal. Check our website for exact dates, times and locations.
Darby Creek Clean-Up Saturday, October 17 from 9am-12pm
Like many residents, our trail system suffered serious damage in the summer months due to the heavy storms and they need our attention. Join Parks and Recreation on October 17 to help clean up the damage. The clean-up may include picking up trash, moving fallen limbs, and brushing up debris.
Volunteers should bring gloves and boots that can get wet and/or dirty. Tools are not neccessary.
Registration is not required. We will meet at Merry
