The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society is calling on volunteers to help plant over 900 trees across the Philadelphia region beginning April 7, 2025. The week-long event will equip participants with necessary tools and supplies, although volunteers are encouraged to bring hand sanitizer, gloves, closed-toed shoes, and a water bottle to ensure a safe and effective experience.

This initiative not only aims to boost Philadelphia’s urban tree canopy—a crucial factor in reducing stress and enhancing community well-being—but also complements broader local efforts to address environmental disparities. Recent updates from community partners and funding announcements highlight similar projects, reinforcing the city’s commitment to a greener future.

Join the effort and be part of a community-driven project that brings both environmental and personal benefits to the region.
