Previous reforestation efforts included:

On Saturday, March 6, 2010, 42 residents and officials, primarily from London Grove and Franklin Townships attended the workshop "Reforesting the Watershed, One Township at a Time". Attendees became familiar with the White Clay Creek Reforestation Plan and to the current tree planting projects envisioned for their community and how they could become involved. For more information, click here.

A record number of volunteers helped at the Goodwin Preserve Reforestation tree planting on March 20, 2010. Your volunteer efforts will make for a greener community and help restore a portion of the Middle Branch of the White Clay Creek they met the goal of planting 2,450 trees on either side of Middle Branch. For more details on the event, click here.

There are many more ways to volunteer and assist with the reforestation of the White Clay Creek. To read more about reforestation and ways you can help, visit "Reforesting the White Clay Watershed: Volunteer Opportunities."
