The 2024 Chadds Ford Earth Day event will be held on Saturday, April 27th (Rain date April 28th).
In honor of Earth Day, Arbor Day, and Celebrate Trails Day, Chadds Ford Township, the Chadds Ford Township Residents Association, and the Brandywine Conservancy have partnered on an exciting new event for our community. There are several opportunities to volunteer throughout the day beginning with the Residents Association’s bi-annual Roadside Clean-Up starting at 8 a.m. at the Chadds Ford Township building (10 Ring Road) and ending with the Harvey Run Trail Clean-Up at 12:30 p.m.
A full schedule of events for the day is the following:
8:00AM – 11:00AM: Roadside Clean-Up
11:30AM – 12:00PM: Debbie Reardon Planting and Memorial
12:00PM – 12:30PM: Lunch for volunteers
12:30PM – 2:30PM: Harvey Run Trail Clean-Up
Coffee and donuts will be provided by the Chadds Ford Township Residents Association for Roadside Clean-Up volunteers. Please bring your own water bottle and the township will provide water to refill your water bottles throughout the day. Additionally, lunch will be provided.
The meeting location for the Debbie Reardon Tree Planting Memorial, lunch, and Harvey Run Trail Clean-Up is located at the pavilion behind the Chadds Ford Township building. The CFT Residents Association will supply safety vests, gloves, trash bags, and trash pickers for the Roadside and Harvey Run Trail Clean-Ups. Additionally, PennDOT will also be donating materials for the clean-up through the Pick-Up Pennsylvania Program.
Those interested in volunteering for one, two, or ALL the scheduled activities can sign-up below.
We extend our gratitude and appreciation to the Brandywine Conservancy and the King family for their generous donation of two bur oak trees for the Memorial Tree Planting, commemorating our beloved community member, Debbie Reardon. These trees symbolize Debbie’s unwavering commitment and dedication to both organizations.
Thank you and we look forward to celebrating Earth Day, Celebrate Trails Day, and Arbor Day with you!
