Morrisville Riverfront Preserve Buffer Restoration (Bucks County, PA)

DRN is working with Morrisville Borough and the Environmental Advisory Council to restore a healthy, native riparian buffer and provide public access at this 8-acre preserve along the Delaware River. DRN produced an Ecological Master Plan to guide the current and future restoration efforts and trail creation. Early in the process DRN provided technical assistance in the management of acres of Japanese knotweed that has been degrading the habitat of the buffer. The knotweed management has been followed with multiple tree plantings that are re-establishing native tree cover; trails have been established that have enabled ecological tours and enabledvisitors to enjoy the Preserve. Funded by the Bucks County Open Space Program, National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, PA DEP, PA Consortium for Scientific Assistance to Watersheds, and other contributors.
