Over forty volunteers gathered at Moore’s Lake Park (The Hollow) in Prospect Park on November 23, 2024, for a massive planting of 170 shrubs and trees as part of a restoration effort to enhance the degraded Stoney Creek riparian zone. This was a collaboration by the Borough of Prospect Park, Delaware County Conservation District, and Darby Creek Valley Association.
The diverse variety of shrub and tree saplings were donated by the Keystone 10 Million Trees Partnership, which is backed by the Chesapeake Foundation.
