Get a free tree from TreePhilly

Through TreePhilly‘s Yard Tree Program, Philadelphia residents can receive a FREE tree! TreePhilly is a new tree-planting initiative led by Philadelphia Parks & Recreation that directly engages property owners, businesses and neighborhood residents to improve their communities by planting and maintaining trees.

Residents can request one tree per address, to be planted on their private land.  Pickup days will occur during the week of April 22nd to 28th throughout the City; we will contact you in March with more information about dates and locations.  This program is for private yard trees only (front, back, and side yards).  If you are interested in a street tree or want to find out more about the Yard Tree Program, including tree species and size information, please visit www.treephilly.org.
