2009 Spring into Your Park
Clean, Play, Celebrate in your park
Join your community in celebrating spring as thousands of volunteers clean and green.
Volunteers of all ages are welcome to participate in cleanups, workdays, festivals, plantings, and much more. Last year volunteers collected 2,000 bags of trash and debris, removed more than 40 tires, planted 88 trees and 166 dozen annuals, and abated over 80 graffiti sites.
Neighborhood parks are vital to the health of a community, but they cannot thrive without our care and support. This year, the Parks Revitalization Team of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society's Philadelphia Green program celebrates its 15th anniversary. Spring IntoYour Park is a collaborative event co-sponsored by the members of the parks network, PHS, the City of Philadelphia, the City Department of Recreation, and Fairmount Park Commission, and receives support from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, the Great PA Cleanup, Philadelphia Insurance Companies, Whole Foods and Enterprise Rent-A-Car. Spring Into Your Park is part of the city's Love Where You Live! beautification and greening campaign
