Park Succession Planning

You’re invited to join us at a community meeting hosted by Friends of Jefferson Square Park and Dickinson Square Park to learn more about Park Trees of Tomorrow and help shape the future of our park’s tree canopy.

Park Trees of Tomorrow is a pilot project led by Fairmount Park Conservancy, Philadelphia Parks & Recreation, and local Park Friends groups. Every park — and its tree canopy — is unique. This project gathers community input to better understand how neighbors use their park and how trees shape their park experience, in support of the Philly Tree Plan, a 10-year effort to grow and care for the city’s trees.

Meeting details:
Date: Thursday, February 19
Time: 6:30 PM
Location: Dickinson Square Building, 1600 E Moyamensing Ave

Registration is encouraged to receive updates about the event and Park Trees of Tomorrow, but is not required to attend.

Jefferson Square Tree Survey

Fall 2025 Edition

Jefferson Square was chosen for a Tree Study led by Philadelphia Parks & Recreation and Fairmount Park Conservancy. This study will help us learn how neighbors use the park and why trees matter to them! This work will support the Philly Tree Plan, a 10-year plan to grow and care for the city’s trees.
