Bike with us through the watershed! (Noon to 3pm)
In honor of our 15th anniversary, NMRWA is hosting a community Bike Tour and Block Party on Saturday, June 11th. The guided bike tour will cover 10 miles through the watershed communities of Wilkinsburg, Regent Square, Swissvale, Homewood, Edgewood, and of course, lower Frick Park. We will explore green rainwater initiatives and watershed features as we leisurely, and safely, traverse the watershed neighborhoods. The tour will both begin and end at Biddle’s Escape coffee shop, starting at noon and finishing around 3pm. Tickets are free for NMRWA members and $25 for non-members.
