A watershed is an area of land that drains surrounding streams and tributaries to a single larger body of water such as a creek, river or the ocean.
The Wissahickon Watershed consists of 64 square miles, flowing downhill to the Wissahickon Creek or one of its tributaries.
The WVWA is committed to the research, restoration and re-wilding of our preserves as a living legacy to nature. We conduct scientific research to better understand how nature is surviving. We restore wildlife habitat by planting new forests, meadows and improving wetlands. We re-wild our preserves by returning rare species of plants and animals that have disappeared from the area. The conservation and management of our suburban wilderness is one of the most important goals of the WVWA.
