We recently hosted our annual Partner Alliance (PA) Networking Reception at Love City Brewing. It was a time to appreciate our current PA members, network, and recruit new sponsors for our creative and impactful watershed work. You can see who belongs to our Partner Alliance here -- feel free to reach out to ask them why they support us!
Best of all, this year SBN recognized my work at TTF with a GSI Champion Award! What an honor. When I started at TTF in 2011, I had no clue that there was even such a thing as GSI. Through our partnership with the Philadelphia Water Department, we learned why it's so important to embrace and advance this critical green sustainable tool.
Our participation in the William Penn Foundation's Delaware River Watershed Initiative and the many projects we have implemented through this and other funding has been incredible change-making and learning experiences. This award reinforces our commitment to and expertise in continuing to move GSI forward across our watershed.
See you soon,
Julie
Queridos Amigos:
Recientemente tuvimos nuestra Recepción del Partner Alliance (PA) Networkinganual en Love City Brewing. Fue un momento para apreciar nuestros miembros corrientes, socializar y reclutar nuevos auspiciadores para nuestro trabajo creativo e impactante en la cuenca. Puedes ver quien pertenece alPartner Alliance aquí-- ¡Siéntese libre de preguntarles por qué nos apoyan!
¡Lo mejor de todo es que este año SBN reconoció mi trabajo en TTF con un premio de GSI Champion! Que honor. Cuando comencé en TTF en 2011, no tenía idea que existía GSI. A través de nuestra asociación con el Departamento de Agua de Filadelfia, aprendimos por qué es tan importante adoptar y promover esta herramienta sustentable verde fundamental. Nuestra participación en el Delaware River Watershed Initiative de la Fundación William Penn, y los muchos proyectos que hemos implementado a través de este y otros fondos, han sido increíbles experiencias de cambio y aprendizaje. Este premio refuerza nuestro compromiso y experiencia para continuar impulsando a GSI en nuestra cuenca.
Our friends at Partnership for the Delaware Estuary distribute a beautiful quarterly spring newsletter with tips, tools, and info on how to create and maintain a garden for both people & wildlife to enjoy!

Our Partner Alliance is a vital part of our efforts toward educating neighbors and stakeholders about clean water issues and how we can all make a difference in our own backyards, parks, and communities.
This group of dozens of businesses of all sizes demonstrates their commitment to our clean water work through a year-long sponsorship.
"Since we are also in the clean water business, TTF’s work is extremely important to us! By engaging everyone they can in the protection and enjoyment of our natural resources, TTF is improving our waterways while educating our customers and neighbors. If everyone knew how their actions impacted the watershed, we would have a much easier time treating drinking water! "
Besides being a Partner Alliance member, have you collaborated with TTF in other ways?
Aqua has partnered with TTF for many years by funding tree-planting projects through the TreeVitalize Watersheds grant program, and our team members have come out to plant the trees during volunteer days. We have an active volunteer program, so we love getting out into the community and planting trees is one of the best things you can do for the planet. TTF always does a great job of planning their project sites and hosting volunteers!
Rain barrels store rain and hold it to be released during drier weather. They keep our creeks cleaner by reducing runoff and demand on our stormwater systems during storms. You can use the captured water to water your garden and wash your car, saving you money!
Our rain barrels from from Camel’s Hump. Each measures 1 meter in height by ½ meter in circumference. Once you place your order, Ryan will be in touch to coordinate delivery.
