Tree Maintenance & Planting:

NTI, working with the Fairmount Park Commission and the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society has addressed a major blighting influence - dangerous trees. From 2000-2003 the City removed 15,081 dangerous trees and pruned more than 41,281 healthy ones.

In 2003 the City started planting young trees to beautify the neighborhoods: 7,000 (the goal was 4,000) were planted, in six months, along city streets, at recreation centers, in new housing developments, in formerly vacant lots and in parks.
