#PhillySpringCleanup was a huge success at Tacony Creek Park!

Thanks all our amazing community partners and volunteersβ€”we showed what people power can do!

Around 200 volunteers came out and helped us remove over 6 truckloads of tires and trash from the park. That’s what #CreekyClean looks like!

Our Streamkeeper and volunteer Tim spotted this mink in our watershed!

It’s exciting to see the return of species like the mink, a sign of healthier habitats and ecosystems.
