The 19th annual Brandywine River Clean Up

April 21, 2012, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Please join the Young Friends of the Brandywine Conservancy and help clean the banks of the Brandywine River from Lenape outside West Chester, Pennsylvania to Thompson's Bridge in Delaware,  The Brandywine is the drinking water source for the City of Wilmington and parts of New Castle County, Delaware.  Cleaning up the river and its banks is important to all who use, live near, or are affected by the Brandywine. 

The Young Friends have hosted this annual river clean up each April since 1994.  To date, they have removed approximately 29 tons of trash, including car batteries, ladders, a metal bed frame a surfboard, and hundreds of tires.  To volunteer to help clean or for more information, please contact  Kathy Freney Smith at 610-388-8315 or send an e-mail ksmith@brandywine.org.   Volunteers are advised to wear long pants, heavy shoes or boots, and sunscreen.  Gloves and trash bags will be provided.   This is a family-friendly event.

Young Friends of the Brandywine Conservancy is a membership group and volunteer committee of young adults dedicated to furthering the goals of the Brandywine Conservancy and its two operating programs, The Environmental Management Center and Brandywine River Museum.

By informing other young adults and their families about the Conservancy, by involving them in our programs, and by soliciting our peers for contributions and planned gifts, we seek to develop future volunteer leaders of the Conservancy, expand and diversify the Conservancy's membership base, and raise funds for its operating programs and for ongoing Young Friends activities.

Becoming a Young Friend is an additional option for Brandywine Conservancy members. To join the Conservancy and become a Young Friends member, click here.
