Waterside Gathering October 19th

Clarke Green

23 Sep 2025

I will be conducting creekside walks at the Brandywine Conservancy's Community Waterside Gathering Sunday October 19th at Anson B. Nixon Park.

This will be a 20-30 minute guided walk along the Red Clay Creek in Anson B. Nixon Park, exploring centuries of change from wetlands to milldams to modern restoration. Discover how native plants, flowing water, and community action are bringing this living stream back to health.

This is a free event, but registration is appreciated - more information.
