SHARE: Mother's Day activities for the whole family

Share the power of play this LYP season, with your family or on your own! With this wonderfully engaging Studio Ludo playpack, let's keep our awesome kids playing while social-distancing. In honor of Love Your Park @ Home, Studio Ludo developed these Mother's Day activity sheets for kids and families to enjoy and celebrate moms (the best play-mates of all time)! Share the love with others by donating a play pack to a Philly family in need. #SpreadTheJoyNotTheVirus

Habitat Restoration at Little Whitby Meadow

June 14th at 2:00pm
Little Whitby Meadow on Cobbs Creek Pkwy, PA 19143

Join Friends of Cobbs Creek to help make Little Whitby Meadow a better home for Monarch Butterflies! The Monarch Butterfly is a beautiful but threatened butterfly species that relies on Common Milkweed as its host plant. Little Whitby has a great crop of Common Milkweed (see photo), but it is under threat from invasive Wild Hops! By removing the Wild Hops, we can give a boost to the Milkweed and the Monarch Butterflies! Note: It is strongly recommended that participants wear long pants and long sleeves as we will be working in tall vegetations, and the Wild Hops can irritate the skin.
