Philadelphia wetland project adds 13,000 feet of channels to restore 150 acres

Restoration efforts have begun in the Henderson Marsh area at the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge, focusing on the excavation of channels to facilitate better water flow. This initiative not only aims to boost wildlife habitats but also enhances flood resilience for nearby communities like Eastwick. The project’s success relies on collaboration among various conservation groups, along with upgraded visitor amenities to attract more nature enthusiasts to the refuge.
