TreePhilly
Making Philadelphia the City of Arborly Love
TreePhilly is a program of Philadelphia Parks & Recreation and Fairmount Park Conservancy, sponsored by TD Bank. We help Philadelphia residents plant and care for trees.
Launched in response to the Office of Sustainability’s Greenworks Plan, TreePhilly strives to reach 30% tree canopy coverage in every Philadelphia neighborhood. We help local residents connect with the resources they need to plant and care for the Philadelphia urban forest. Learn how you can make your neighborhood greener with TreePhilly below.
Yard Trees: Have a yard? Get a free yard tree! TreePhilly gives out over 1,000 free trees with the help of our community partners each spring and fall. Through our Community Yard Tree Giveaway Program, residents can get a free yard tree to plant on private property from the community partner in their neighborhood.
Street Trees: Planted in sidewalks and other public rights-of-way, street trees beautify neighborhoods and bring communities together. Philadelphia Parks & Recreation has planted and maintained street trees in the city for over 100 years! Find out how to get street trees in your neighborhood today!
Tree Keepers: Our seasonal maintenance crew works hard to beautify our neighborhood parks, playgrounds, and recreation centers. The team prunes trees, removes invasive species, and assists with special projects at Parks & Rec facilities across the city. The TreeKeepers program also offers a pipeline to green careers by providing on-the-job training and education to crew members, some of whom are ex-offenders.
