Restore 600 linear feet of eroded streambank and the adjacent riparian forest to improve habitat for fish and wildlife along the Pennypack Creek near its confluence with the Delaware River in Northeast Philadelphia. Project will expand on current, local restoration efforts to remove invasive tree species and replace them with native canopy and understory trees, helping to create a varied and sustainable ecosystem while providing community access to the riverfront.
