On Saturday May 2, volunteers from WITF Public Radio, Lancaster County Parks & Recreation and Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources joined together for a day of ‘riparian buffer’ education and the planting of the WITF Woodland located in Lancaster County’s ‘Central Park’.

Thank you to all the fantastic volunteers who came out on a rainy Saturday to help plant the 350 seedlings donated by WITF members and DCNR.

Thank you for the support and generosity of Lancaster’s local business for their amazing donations. All of the donations were greatly appreciated!
