Lenape Park, PA Island Restoration Demonstration

A guided visit of the island in Lenape Park in Perkasie Borough will be given on October 3 by staff of F. X. Browne, Inc. who designed and managed a streambank restoration project in the East Branch Perkiomen Creek. They will explain bioengineering stabilization techniques used to address erosion problems, and native plants that were introduced to help control future erosion.  As part of the demonstration, a few small areas of the island will be re-seeded. Volunteers from the community are welcome to participate, and are invited to stay for the other activities of Perkasie’s Fall Festival.  For more information about the project, including project construction and post-construction photographs, see http://www.fxbrowne.com under Case Studies.
