October is one of the best times of the year to see and hear owls - and what could be a better way to take advantage of Autumn’s beautiful, quiet nights than to go in search of those nocturnal wonders? Join us for an evening of pie and cider at WVWA headquarters, followed by an owl-prowl through the twilight woods!

Come to the William Jeanes Memorial Library in Whitemarsh Township for a film showing the history of the Wissahickon Creek, the development of the Wissahickon Valley, and how it has affected our waterways! See how citizens and municipalities from all over the watershed are getting involved to solve these global problems, and join us afterwards for Q&A. Film created by GreenTreks.
