Fifty volunteers joined Delaware County Conservation District (DCCD) for a tree planting session at Frederick L. Mann Memorial Park in Ridley Township on October 18, 2025. The concerted effort by resident volunteers, municipal officials, county staff, and many other local environmental groups resulted in 530 trees and shrubs planted along Stoney Creek!
In addition to the clear shade benefits these trees will provide in years to come, these trees will help mitigate flood damage to downstream properties, enhance wildlife habitat, and improve stream water quality.
Also, over 20 volunteers gathered at Morton Homestead (State Historic Property) in Prospect Park on Saturday, November 8, 2025, to plant 180 shrubs and trees as part of a restoration effort to enhance the degraded tidal sections of the Darby Creek riparian zones.
Through a partnership with the Keystone10 Million Program, backed by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, DCCD provided municipalities with technical assistance to obtain free trees and shrub saplings, each with a plant protection tube, for environmental enhancement projects.
