Elsewhere in South Philly, Newbold Neighbors Association (top middle), Lower Moyamensing Civic Association (bottom middle), South of South Street Neighborhood Association (top right) and Queen Village Neighbors Association (bottom right) added to the local tree canopy.
If you want to get involved with the civic’s future tree plantings or its Tree Tender program, email beautification@passyunk.org. The civic is also taking applications for next fall’s planting, if you’re interested in a street tree for your house.
