For over 60 years, Wissahickon Trails has worked to engage diverse communities of people to protect and enjoy the land and waterways of the Wissahickon Valley. Our partnerships with neighbors, activists, and local governments are essential to our work. Together, we use preservation and scientific innovation to strengthen our local ecosystems.
We work in the Wissahickon watershed, the 64 square miles of land that drains into the Wissahickon Creek. We focus on the Montgomery County portion of the watershed. Our downstream partners, Friends of the Wissahickon, work in the Philadelphia portion of the watershed.
