SUMMARY:Tree Care & Pollinator Garden Site Prep
DESCRIPTION:Tree care & pollinator garden site prep in Johnsontown Park\nWe’re not quite done yet with site prep for the pollinator garden. Please keep saving that plain brown cardboard! \nPollinator garden site prep:  Sheet mulching with cardboard and leaf mulch to smother grass near the River Station bridge. This hands-on\, family friendly community event will be a great way to learn how to create a pollinator garden\, step by step. This event is all about site preparation\, and you’ll be able to take what you learn back to your own home\, to create a native garden of your very own. \nTree care: We’ll be checking on the tree saplings that we planted last fall. Some need a little pick-me-up due to soggy site conditions\, and we’ll be gently lifting and backfilling with additional soil. \nRemove invasives: We’ll be removing the invasive Japanese pachysandra under the bridge and replacing it with native Packera aurea. \nWhat to bring: \n\nGarden rake\, pitchfork\, or trowel\nPlain brown cardboard – the plainer\, the better! No wax coating\, and as little ink as possible. (No Chewy boxes\, please\, because they have too much ink\, but most Amazon boxes will be ok. If you’ve recently purchased a large item like a fridge or other household appliance\, that carboard would be very helpful.)\n\nPlease RSVP to let us know you’re coming. \n \n  \n  \nSpecial thank you to our partners for making this project possible: \nPA Native Plant Society for grant funding\nXerces Society for the native pollinator plant kit\nMSE Landscape Associates\, Mark Eberhardt; Principal Landscape Designer in partnership with ROR & the Downingtown Shade Tree Commission\nDowningtown Borough & Public Works for boulders\, leaf mulch\, cardboard storage and for all the support\nAll of our community volunteers

SUMMARY:Postponed to November! Walk in Penn Woods Events: Stretch with Trees + Tour Kerr Park Planting
DESCRIPTION:Note: we have postponed this event to November- stay tuned for further details! \n  \n  \nWalk in Penn’s Woods evolved from a simple statement made by landowner Ruth Park to a receptive audience in 2016: “I do wish we could ALL get out into the woods for a walk one day!” That idea\, spoken with such passion\, birthed a partnership of forest organizations and woodland owners\, motivating people throughout the state into the woods on the first Sunday in October. \nSince 2017\, the Walk in Penn’s Woods partnership has been working to offer Pennsylvanians a statewide day of walks in the woods on the first Sunday in October. These walks provide an excellent opportunity to get out\, have fun\, and learn about Pennsylvania’s forests\, to see forests in new ways\, and to understand and appreciate the many values we hold for the woods. \nOver 1\,000 people attended each of the first two events\, with over 60 walks offered around the state; the 2019 event featured 85 walks\, including more than a dozen “walk and roll” wheelchair-and stroller-friendly sites\, with nearly 1\,000 participants on a rainy\, chilly day. \nROR will be hosting a few events on this day that you can join at Kerr Park: \n10am- 11am: Mighty Forest Qigong w/ ROR member\, Tara. Qigong is an ancient form of cultivating energy\, your life force. Through a series of gentle movements and breath\, we will connect with nature’s energy to bring peace and centeredness. No prior experience necessary. Good for all ages\, however children must be accompanied by an adult. Meet at the playground\, then we will walk to our nearby spot on the grass. Wear comfortable clothing in which you can do simple stretches. \n1pm-2:15pm: Walking tour of the trees in Kerr Park. With the ROR team as your guide\, learn about the magical trees\, old and new\, of Kerr Park.
