Friends of the Cresheim Trail is looking forward to another year of stewardship within our outdoor dominion. Join us for regularly scheduled monthly volunteer workdays, with Saturday and Sunday options, and additional weekday offerings to be announced.
Our work includes litter removal, invasive vegetation control, native tree and shrub plantings, corridor and sightline clearing, and trail improvements (from deberming and regrading to reroutes and rock work). We have something for all skill sets and provide the tools and gloves, though you are welcome to bring your own.

WEATHER CANCELLATIONS: FOCT is a hardy bunch and will only cancel when absolutely necessary. High winds, heavy downpours, excessive temperatures (single or triple digits), and poor trail conditions qualify as absolutely necessary.
PFN RECOGNITION: It is a privilege for FOCT to serve as an official City of Philadelphia park stewardship partner, as members of the Park Friends Network (co-managed by Philadelphia Parks & Recreation and Fairmount Park Conservancy).
