#PhillySpringCleanup was a huge success at Tacony Creek Park!

Thanks all our amazing community partners and volunteers—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!

February 17, a fire broke out at SPS Technologies in Abington Township. DEP and PWD detected low levels of chemicals in Tookany Creek, but drinking water remains safe.

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.
