TreePhilly continued our COVID-adapted contactless tree giveaway model in Spring 2021. As a testament to our community partner’s hard work, on average our partners placed 80% of the trees in their target communities, with 56.4% going to zipcodes with high priority for environmental justice to increase tree equity. 906 TreePhilly trees joined our urban forest this spring! The following groups hosted their own yard tree giveaways through our Community Yard Tree Giveaway program.
In Fall 2020 TreePhilly continued with the hybrid home-delivery and no-contact pick-up event model piloted in Spring 2020. The design allowed our community partnerships to deepen while also distributing as many trees as possible within COVID .Philadelphians planted 977 yard trees, TreePhilly and our partners increased accessibility by delivering 614 trees directly to the doorsteps of residents with limited mobility and higher risk for serious illness from COVID-19 and 48.5% of trees went to areas of higher priority for environmental justice!We could not have accomplished this without our amazing community partners. The following groups hosted their own yard tree giveaways through our Community Yard Tree Giveaway program.
In Spring 2020 with 22 Community Yard Tree Giveaway events planned across the city– the pandemic forced us to call off all in-person events. Over the course of two months, with the feedback from community partners, sister programs from around the country and safety guidelines from the City of Philadelphia we developed an adapted model of tree distribution. TreePhilly administered an adapted hybrid model for tree distribution that included: Two contactless tree pick-up events,138 door-to-door deliveries, and Community partner delivery grants. The pilot program was a success with 306 trees being delivered for residential planting.We could not have accomplished this without our amazing community partners.
