As part of Patch's commitment to community service, Patch editors from throughout Montgomery County travelled to Pennypack Ecological Restoration Trust, for a day of service.
Patch calls its community service program, "Give 5," as in the editors spent over five hours at the Trust, pulling invasive porcelean berry vines from trees and straigtening nearly 100 saplings that were damaged by recent flooding.
Most of the editors were astonished at how quickly the service opportunity went, and how much fun they had working in the woods.
"I may not want to return to the land of technology," David Powell, Patch Montgomery County associate regional editor, said.

Great video, Gerry! My favorite part was the end, with the thumbs up and the casual walk away of Melissa and myself. Awesome time.
