Free Trees and Pollinator Talk: Native Species Day Comes to Exton

EXTON, PA — On Sunday, May 18, the Uwchlan Environmental Advisory Council will host a special event at Baird Park to recognize PA Native Species Day. From 1 to 3 p.m., community members can learn about the role of native plants in supporting pollinators and sustaining local ecosystems.

Gardening expert Katharina Henderson will present on how native species have adapted to Pennsylvania’s environment and why their preservation is critical. Attendees can also take home tree saplings and perennial seeds, explore the park’s Nature Learning Trail, and receive materials to begin or expand their own native gardens. The event is free and open to all ages, providing both educational value and hands-on opportunities to support ecological stewardship.

West Bradford Volunteers Clear Invasive Plants at Broad Run Park

WEST BRADFORD TWP — In West Bradford Township, community members and local scouts came together last month for a day of environmental restoration at Broad Run Park. Despite rainy conditions, volunteers helped clear invasive plants including Japanese honeysuckle, bittersweet, and multiflora rose—species that threaten native trees and biodiversity.

The event was part of an ongoing effort to preserve the area’s natural ecosystems and encourage residents to take similar steps in their own yards. The township’s “Preserve & Conserve” page offers tools and information for identifying and removing invasive species. A second cleanup event is planned for the fall, continuing the push to protect local green spaces.
