Tookany/Tacony-Frankford Watershed Partnership

Increase watershed awareness in the Tookany/Tacony-Frankford Watershed by working with grassroots environmental organization, the Tookany/Tacony-Frankford Watershed Partnership, Inc. (TTF), a non-profit connecting residents, businesses and government as neighbors and stewards of this impaired, but critically important watershed in the Philadelphia metro region. Through educational programming, community outreach, networking services, and project coordination, TTF facilitates, supports, and initiates efforts to restore the health of the watershed, and to mobilize its communities as watershed stewards. TTF's mission is to enhance the health and vitality of the Tookany/Tacony-Frankford Creek and its watershed. The TTF office is located at the Awbury Arboretum in the Germantown section of Philadelphia.
