02 Apr April 5, 2025: Nature Tenders Event sponsored by EAC

Saturday, April 5, 10am-12:30pm; rain date April 6

Opalanie Park, 1422 St. Matthews Rd., Chester Springs, PA  19425

LOVE NATURE? Give Mother Nature a helping hand in our community park – Opalanie Park! Help out the woodlands new and old, learn about birds and butterflies and native plants, and enjoy a morning in nature with your community.

You don’t need to be strong – just gentle and patient! It is a meditative activity. Woodlands provide so many services to our community (stormwater management, temperature moderation, removing pollution from air and water, promoting and protecting biodiversity (birds! pollinators!), producing oxygen and removing carbon dioxide), and they are struggling.

Let’s help them! While spending the morning in this beautiful place, learning about nature & listening to the birds, our activities will include caring for the young trees in tree tubes and removing non-native invasive plants that are harming our native plants, insects, and birds.

Bring sturdy garden gloves if you have them. Wear long sleeves and pants and socks and closed toed shoes. Bring pruners or loppers and big or little shovels (if you have them). We will have extra gloves and tools with us, so don’t worry if you don’t have your own. Be sure to bring a beverage in a reusable container. This is thirsty work!

Bonus – if you attend 3 Nature Tenders events, your gift will be a super cool Nature Tenders baseball cap in royal blue!
