Patch Editors Give Five at Pennypack Ecological Restoration Trust
Patch editors from throughout Montgomery County helped restore nearly 100 flood-damaged trees at the Trust during Patch's community service Give 5 program.
As part of Patch's commitment to community service, Patch editors from throughout Montgomery County travelled to on Thursday, Nov. 3 for a day of service.
Patch calls its community service program "," meaning editors are asked to give at least five hours of volunteer time to a community cause. This month our editors spent over five hours at the Pennypack, pulling invasive porcelean berry vines from trees and straigtening nearly 100 saplings that were damaged by recent flooding.
Most of the editors were astonished at how quickly the time went, and how much fun they had working in the woods.
