At the heart of SKCP's tree program is the work the Old/SouthKensington Tree Tenders, (O/SK TT) neighbors who have been trained by our partners at the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS) in the biology, care, and planting of trees. This Spring, PHS is offering an online option for the popular 8 hour training which begins next week. There is a $40 fee. O/SKTT can provide scholarships to those want to participate in neighborhood tree work and cannot afford the fee (call 215-370-0099): See the link for details.
