Our community came together for a soap-making workshop led by the wonderful Paola Disla (Disla). We learned the process of creating handmade soap, shared conversations, laughed together, and left with not only something we made with our own hands, but new knowledge to carry with us 🌸

Thank you Paola, for generously sharing your time, creativity, and knowledge with all of us. Your willingness to teach helps keep community traditions, creativity, and connection alive.

Thank you to everyone who joined us!! Here’s to creating, learning, and growing together 🧼🫧

Other people's pessimism is not your problem. Your joy is radical!

Oh we are definitely making this bridge happen!

Trail Notes: THE BRIDGE SITUATION

Bridges: great for getting over things. Less great when they're getting over the river AND starting to fall apart.

Bridge repairs are some of the biggest and most expensive projects on the Schuylkill River Trail. We're not talking a few planks. We're talking engineering assessments, heavy equipment, contractors, and months of coordination.

When a bridge deck rots or when storm damage takes its toll, a 10-foot span suddenly becomes a big trail problem.

The SRG Stewardship Fund exists specifically for moments like these — when something needs to get fixed and it needs to get fixed fast so it doesn't become a hazard.

This final year of the Stewardship Fund Campaign, we're working hard to make sure we have a sustainable source of revenue to ensure every bridge we maintain is safe for every biker, runner, and trail user who crosses them.

Want to help keep the bridges and trail safe for all to enjoy? A donation to the Stewardship Fund goes directly toward keeping the trail safe for generations to come: https://support.schuylkillriver.org/stewardship-fund

Help us reach our $5 million goal. Donate today!
