Stroud Water Research Center
Calling all youths ages 12-16! Join us for a program that pairs investigative field experiences with virtual learning. Explorers will be guided through three challenges focused on the significance of First State National Historical Park's Brandywine Valley unit.
We will be planting approximately 2.75 acres with 675 trees on a primary tributary of Doe Run Creek. This planting will also serve as a research site as we will be collecting data on the growth rate of trees in two different types of tree tubes.

Take a paddle in the present moment, featuring peaceful sounds of the wild, connections to water quality, and time with the Brandywine River.
In the interest of testing new plants that could further enhance riparian areas, we've planted a wide selection of lesser-known native trees and shrubs, provided by our friends at Octoraro Native Plant Nursery.
Students from each of the five counties will participate in two days of activities which will include water sampling, land-use explorations, and a kayak trip.
