Welcome to our network of volunteer greening enthusiasts in West/Southwest Philadelphia!
Each year, UC Green volunteers plant and tend hundreds of street trees and enhance public green spaces contributing thousands of hours in service to the community.
We invite you to learn more about our programs and how to care for trees and gardens. We hope you will consider supporting our efforts or participating as a volunteer. Thank you for browsing our site and we hope to see you at one of our events.
