I From a global pandemic, to an economic shutdown and reopening, and a social reckoning with race and justice, 2020 challenged the foundational elements of many organizations. At Brandywine, we leaned into our bedrock—the core values we’ve lived out for over 25 years by prioritizing people, relationships and communities. Our teams rose to the occasion, taking swift action to cover the danger side, and then shifting focus forward to the opportunities. Early on, as the pandemic unfolded, we quickly implemented business-continuity plans and activated a crisis response team to protect the health and safety of our employees, tenants, and stakeholders. Our operational model allowed us to keep 100% of our buildings open while we made further investments in on-site health and safety measures. We maintained strong levels of rent collection while working collaboratively with our tenants on rent relief solutions where necessary. We made great efforts to be true workplace partners, providing our tenants with custom Return to the Workplace plans and a comprehensive Tenant Resource Toolkit. We remained committed to our brand promise and leveraged this period of uncertainty to deepen our relationships.

T ASKS A SSOCIATED W ITH R ESTORATION A CTIVITIES 4.A.1. Introduction The project to prepare a natural lands restoration master plan for Fairmount (East/West) Park began in October 1997. Numerous site visits were conducted in Fairmount (East/West) Park with the Fairmount Park Commission (FPC) District #1 Manager and staff, community members, Natural Lands Restoration and Environmental Education Program (NLREEP) staff and Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia (ANSP) staff. Informal meetings at the Park’s district office were held to solicit information and opinions from district staff. Additionally, ANSP participated in the NLREEP Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) meetings in March and October 1998. These meetings were used to solicit ideas and develop contacts with other environmental scientists and land managers. A meeting was also held with ANSP, NLREEP and FPC engineering staff to discuss completed and planned projects in or affecting natural lands in Fairmount (East/West) Park. A variety of informal contacts, such as speaking at meetings of Friends groups and other clubs, and discussions during field visits provided additional input. ANSP, NLREEP and the Philadelphia Water Department (PWD) set up a program of quarterly meetings to discuss various issues of joint interest. These meetings are valuable in obtaining information useful in planning restoration and in developing concepts for cooperative programs. As a result of these meetings, PWD staff reviewed the list of priority stream restoration sites proposed for Fairmount (East/West) Park.
