Stroud Water Research Center
An update on research seeks to reduce plastic waste, maintenance costs, and the mortality of planted trees and shrubs.
Volunteers from Exelon, Wilmington Trust/M&T Bank, and Dansko joined us for tree plantings and maintenance at New Bolton Center. We appreciate their support!
Whether it’s too much, too little, or too dirty, the primary way humans experience climate change is through water. Streamside forests can help.
