The first certified Willistown Wildscape certificate was presented to the Cookers in May 2008. Over 1200 native wildflowers and grasses were planted by volunteers at the Trust offices in April 2008, where we are converting mowed lawn to a wildflower meadow.

Edgmont Country Club, Reception and Dinner Lecture
Dr. Roger Latham, an ecologist and conservation biologist, spoke on the history and current condition of native grasslands and meadows in Pennyslvania.
