At the heart of SKCP's tree program is the work the Old/South Kensington Tree Tenders, which includes neighbors who have been trained by our partners at the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS) in the biology, care, and planting of trees. As the City of Philadelphia undertakes its first ever Urban Forest Strategic Plan, O/SK Tree Tenders are looking forward to the renewed interest and commitment to the planting and care of our neighborhood treescape.
