Radnor Conservancy Park Stewards
 

Interested in helping protect, maintain, and restore the park resources of Radnor Township? So are we, and we’re looking for people who’d like to participate in a hands-on way in giving back to our community.   Our Park Stewards program, which we are launching for the first time in 2006, will help bring together Radnor conservationists for one or more days of organized park TLC activities.  (Your level of interest will drive our level of activity.) Let us know of your interest by contacting us.  We will add your name to our list of Park Stewards and will notify you of future opportunities to join our corps of park stewards.

Radnor Trail Signs
 

The Radnor Historical Society has been working with Radnor Township's Department of Parks and Recreation and the Radnor Conservancy to create interpretive signs along the Radnor Trail. The signs have been planned for important locations, including sites of former railroad stations. It is a unique opportunity to approach history: to have photographs of the sites directly in front of the actual historic sites.
 

The signs are made from the best materials and finishes available. The graphic panel is made of porcelain enamel, the very best material for this purpose. Even in outdoor use, porcelain can hold its color and stand the test of time for decades

The first two signs were funded by a grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development, as well as donations from the Radnor Historical Society, the Friends of Radnor Trails and Radnor Township. We need you, the community, to help us pay for the next phase of signs. All donations are tax-deductable.
 

$1000  Receive your name in large print on a sign
$500 : Receive your name in small print on a sign
 

Please send all contributions to the Radnor Historical Society or the Radnor Conservancy at either of the following addresses. Please make a note that your contribution should go to the Trail Signs Fund.
