Registration for Yard Trees is Open for Spring 2020!
UPDATE: Registration is closed for spring 2020 tree distributions. To stay informed of future opportunities follow @TreePhilly on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter and sign up for our newsletter!

This spring TreePhilly is giving away a limited number of trees for Philadelphia residents to plant in their yards! We are hosting two contact-free pick-up events as well as a delivery program for residents in high-risk populations and those unable to pick up a tree in their car. Registration is open through May 17. Pick-up events will take place on Saturday, May 23, and Sunday, May 24, and trees will be delivered from May 25 through 29. Trees are available while supplies last and pre-registration is required. Scroll down to view pick-up events and times!

Tree pick-up events and deliveries will be executed with strict adherence to social distancing guidelines in order to protect against the spread of COVID-19. To receive a tree, you MUST pre-register for an event. Trees will NOT be available to walk-ins.

How to Register for a Tree!
Use our Registration Form to sign up for a tree. In the form, you will select a pick-up event or delivery. If you select a pick-up event, you will need to sign up for a 30-minute window within the event time to pick up your tree. To receive your tree, you must arrive to pick up your tree within the 30-minute window you sign up for. Your tree will only be available during that 30 minute window, and late or early arrivals will not receive a tree. You will be expected to load your tree into your own vehicle. This will help us maintain proper social-distancing and will help keep everyone safe and healthy. After you select your time window, you will be able to choose your tree species! After you sign up for your tree, you will receive detailed instructions on how you will get your tree.

Reminder: All trees from TreePhilly must be planted in the ground on private property in Philadelphia.
