Canal Action Team

The Friends’ Canal Action Team (CAT) has been tackling a wide variety of projects since it was formed in the winter of 2014. Everything from removing vegetation from stone walls to bridge painting to replacing interpretive signs to pulling out cattails is fair game.

Would you like to be on the CAT?

Who:  Anyone who wants to and can be physically active. Especially needed are people who like to paint bridges and those who would like to lead a crew.

When: CAT projects can be undertaken both on weekdays and weekends. Usually they take no longer than 34-4 hours.

Where: Work sites are determined by the urgency of the job and the location and number of available volunteers.

The Plan: If you want to be part of CAT, please call 215-862-2021 or  mailto:friends@fodc.org and give us your contact info and your preferred work locations (north, central, south).  When a work day is developed, an e-mail notice containing the job details is sent to all prospective volunteers about two weeks prior.  Those who can help on a particular project just respond to the e-mail and show up on the appointed day.

Be a part of CAT!  Get things done along the Canal and enjoy working with your fellow Friends.
