Check out the newly cleared Pompeston Creek Trail and native plantings!
Over the past year, the Parks and Recreation Committee, along with the Environmental Commission and Green Team, have been working on revitalizing this important environmental resource. Students in the St. Joseph’s Prep Environmental Club, led by Ronan Kelly, contributed 63 hours of labor over the past year cleaning the trail. Borough staff, councilmembers, Environmental Commission and Green Team members, and other community members contributed an additional 49 hours of labor on trail improvements. This includes defining paths and planting 53 native plants representing 11 species (acquired from Bowman’s Hill and Cedar Run’s plant sale) selected to help with bank stabilization and biodiversity. We are grateful for our $760 grant from ANJEC, which funded our project to care for and raise the profile of this special spot in Riverton. Want to visit the Trail yourself? One entrance is at the Riverton Memorial Park behind the dog park; another is near the playground area. If you want to be involved in regular trail maintenance or native plant maintenance and monitoring, contact Councilmember Edgar Wilburn ([email protected]) or Nicole Belolan ([email protected]). ...
