What's New? | ¿Qué hay nuevo?
Philly Tree Plan
The City of Philadelphia recently released the Philly Tree Plan, the city’s first-ever urban forest strategic plan. The plan sets the goal to bring each neighborhood to 30% tree cover within 30 years. The plan:
  • Sets a 10-year strategy to grow, protect, and care for Philadelphia’s tree canopy.
  • Establishes new ways of working with residents to combat climate change.
Provides recommendations to the City and its partners to:
  • Coordinate and strengthen their work on tree planting and maintenance.
  • Find the role policy they can play to support a more tree-friendly culture across the city.
Many of our watershed neighborhoods lack tree canopy. We know that tree cover is critical to human and watershed health, and we look forward to supporting implementation of this plan.
Green Living Plan
Mayoral Candidate Forum
Wednesday, March 29, 6-8pm
Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University 
1900 Benjamin Franklin Parkway, Phila 19103
FREE!

Seats may be limited!

With a field of more than ten candidates vying to serve as Philadelphia’s next Mayor, the organizations and neighborhoods represented by The Green Living Plan (GLP) seek to gain the field’s pledge to expand city investment in underserved communities and address top environmental and quality of life concerns, using a citizen-driven lens that differs in focus from the fiscal models currently in place.

We have participated in this process and have endorsed this plan.
