Montgomery County’s Upper Dublin Township places great value on maintaining parks, recreation areas, and open spaces for its residents. The September 1 tornadoes caused great damage to many houses. They also devastated several fully-mature wooded open spaces, one of which is theTannerie Run Park West area.
