Red Clay Creek Stream Restoration Project Starting March 23, 2020

Anson B. Nixon Park A water quality project of the Brandywine Red Clay Alliance and the Kennett Area Park Authority to restore portions of the East Branch of the Red Clay Creek and a tributary. Stream restoration addresses sediment, nitrogen and phosphorous pollution in the creek by stabilizing eroding stream banks, connecting the stream to flood plains, reducing new erosion in the creek channel and improving fish and aquatic habitats.  For more information go to http://www.brandywineredclay.org   Please excuse our temporary closing of trails and work area sites. For your safety, please stay out of fenced off work areas.   This project was financed in part by funding from:
  • PA Department of Environmental Protection, Growing Greener Watershed Protection Grant
  • National Fish and Wildlife Foundation
  • Kennett Township and the Borough of Kennett Square
