Free Street Trees

Friends of Schuylkill River Park
Tree Tenders

The Friends of Schuylkill River Park Tree Tenders is currently taking street tree applications for the Fall 2011 planting season. If you know of anybody who has an open tree pit or is interested in obtaining a free street tree where there is not yet a tree pit, please pass this information along.

Submissions for the Fall 2011 tree planting cycle are due no later than March 28, 2011. The FSRP Tree Tenders planting area runs from the Schuylkill River to Broad Street between South and Walnut Streets; if you live outside of this area there are other Tree Tenders Groups that can help you. The Friends of Schuylkill River Park Tree Tenders is a collaboration among the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, the Center City Residents' Association, the Friends of Schuylkill River Park, and TreeVitalize.
