Pictures of Earth Day activities at the Philadelphia Orchard Project Food Forest

Volunteers and staff at the Philadelphia Orchard Project at the Wissahickon Environmental Center gathered in the Food Forest on Earth Day to clear invasive species, sheet mulch, lay path borders and more. Earth Day was first held on April 22, 1970.
