SUMMARY:DRBC Sea Level Rise Report
DESCRIPTION:The Delaware River is the largest undammed river in the eastern United States and is tidally influenced. Generally\, sea level rise is expected to push the salt front – the location where the river is no longer considered fresh water – farther upstream than typically seen today. \nJoin Delaware River Basin Commission staff to hear about a new report evaluating how sea level rise will affect salinity in the Delaware River and detailing how far upstream salt water or salinity could reach under multiple sea level rise scenarios and flow conditions. \n Register for the webinar

SUMMARY:CRCQL Chester Environmental Justice - General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The work continues and CRCQL is gearing up for another productive and engaging year ahead. We remain focused on our mission to protect residents’ rights to clean air and a healthy environment.  Below is some information about our upcoming meetings\, 2025 recap and updates on our ongoing campaigns. \nThere will continue to be an onslaught of news this year that will shock\, disorient and disrupt us. A great way to break the negativity spiral is to get involved with local groups\, like CRCQL\, that are actively working on the ground to protect residents rights and prevent further pollution and harm in Delaware County.  Even extending a few hours of time or educating your neighbor on the issues at hand makes all the difference! \nThe 1st Community Meeting of the year will be Thursday\, January 22 at 7pm on Zoom.  Register at ChesterPaEJ.org/meeting. We hope to see you at a meeting or event this year. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Multipurpose Natives: Creating Habitat through Cut Flower Gardening ($ pay what you wish)
DESCRIPTION:A joint program of Brandywine Conservancy’s Native Plant Series and Stewardship Series \nGrow beauty with purpose. Join Jennie Love\, owner of Love ‘n Fresh Flowers as she reviews the tenants of regenerative growing practices for thoughtful land stewardship as well as the value of incorporating natives in the gardening landscape. Explore a curated list of native plants ideal for cutting\, hear tips for growing them\, and learn about the ecological benefits they provide. The program wraps with time for your questions. \nAbout the presenter \nJennie started Love ‘n Fresh Flowers\, a regenerative flower farm located in Philadelphia\, Pennsylvania in 2009. This vibrant five-acre flower farm is dedicated to stewarding a healthy ecosystem for creatures of all shapes and sizes. They focus on growing cut flowers and foliage\, specializing in native and perennial crops. Since then\, her work has been featured in the New York Times\, Martha Stewart Weddings\, Country Gardens\, The Philadelphia Inquirer\, and elsewhere. Read more about Jennie and her farm. \nThis event is open to the public and may be recorded. It is a “pay what you wish” program with proceeds covering presenter fees and supporting Brandywine Conservancy’s education and stewardship initiatives. Registration is required to receive the Zoom link. Thank you for considering a donation. \nThe annual Native Plant Series offers a varied focus on native plants throughout the seasons for gardeners of all levels and learning styles. The 2026 “Misunderstood Natives” theme aims to explore diverse perceptions of native plants\, inviting audiences to see them through a new lens—one that offers fresh insights and practical tools for understanding the value native species bring to people\, wildlife\, and the places we live. \nThe Stewardship Series hosts educational programs on land management challenges\, and other topics of interest to easement landowners. Topics may include ecosystem restoration\, invasive species management\, incorporating best management practices (BMPs)\, farm management\, programs to assist landowners\, such as the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP). \nAll are welcome to attend. \nDue to technical difficulties beyond our control\, you may not immediately receive a confirmation email after registering\, but you will receive the Zoom login information in the reminder email that will be sent the morning of the program. If you wish to double check your registration\, please email Julia Steiner at jsteiner@brandywine.org.
