DUE TO THE WEATHER, THE PRESS CONFERENCE PLANNED FOR 2/14/14 HAS BEEN POSTPONED. STAY TUNED TO THE WEBSITE AND TREEPHILLY SOCIAL MEDIA FOR THE NEW DATE AND TIME!
Join the TreePhilly team at
Rittenhouse Square next
Friday, February 14th at 12noon to kick off our spring tree giveaway season! We will announce the schedule of giveaway events (see below) and hear from the Mayor and a special “green” guest. If you come to the kickoff event and sign up to be on our email list you will get a special City of Arborly Love tee shirt! (while supplies last)
Look for special love notes hung in the trees in Center City next week before our kick off event – the trees will be telling us how much they love us! Take a picture and #treephilly to show that you love them back.
