Newark Resevoir

August 30, 2016 By Becca Leave a Comment

Newark Resevoir

Doing a nature based blog post on the Newark Reservoir is sort of oxymoronic considering the fact that it is completely manmade BUT it is actually a great example of responsible watershed management. Since it’s completion in the mid 2000’s, it has since become an asset to the community in more ways than the obvious. […]

Bethany Beach Nature Center

I can’t even tell you how many times I drove past Bethany Beach Nature Center and didn’t even realize what it was!

Bethany Beach

It has a great little amphitheater where live music is […]

Rehoboth Beach

Rehoboth Beach. The reason why thousands of out-of-staters clog up Delaware highways each Summer. Kidding!! (Not really…) It is arguably the most well known Delaware beach and home to some of everyone’s favorite foods. Thrasher’s fries, Nic-a-boli, Dolles candies, etc. Have any of you ridden on one of those bike cart things?? Tons of shops, […]

Fairmount Park- Centennial Arboretum

Fairmount Park- Centennial Arboretum

May 29, 2021 By Becca Leave a Comment

What kind of mental picture do you get when you think of Philadelphia? Big cities are such a juxtaposition between beauty and filth in my personal opinion. Everywhere you look there are piles of trash, graffiti, and dilapidated buildings. Philly has more than its' fair share of those things BUT it … [Read More...]
