REMOTE ACCESS | TREE PLANTING | CONCERT AT CURTIS | EXPRESS ALMANAC

Volunteer Tree Planting

On Saturday, November 10, beginning at 9 a.m., a tree planting event will take place on Chestnut Street, from 31st to 40th Streets. 150 trees will be installed in memory of the victims from the September 11 tragedy.

At a time when our nation is mourning the deaths of thousands of innocent people killed in the attacks of September 11, UC Green and its partners want to provide people of different faiths and races an opportunity to come and work together by planting hundreds of trees on a major public space.

By making a statement of community and unity in crisis, this planting will provide students, neighbors, businesses, city agencies and public officials another opportunity to get on with our collective lives and show America's resolve and resilience to heal the deep wounds produced by this tragedy.

The event is sponsored by UC Green & Partners. Pre-registration is suggested via e-mail harrisz@ wharton.upenn.edu or by calling (215) 898-2020.
