Owner Responsibility Agreement to Plant a Yard Tree in Philadelphia:

 
I agree to help restore tree cover in Philadelphia by planting a tree on my property. In doing so, I acknowledge that I will properly care for my tree, which will increase property values, bring beauty and character to my neighborhood, save energy, cut heating and air-conditioning costs, shade and cool neighborhoods, reducing temperatures on the hottest summer days, clean pollutants out of the air and water, reduce stormwater runoff, buffer and reduce noise, promote community interaction and renewal, and provide habitat for birds and other wildlife.
 

In order to receive a free tree through Creating Canopy with Penn, you must pledge to the following:

-- I am a resident and property owner in Philadelphia
-- I will plant my tree in the ground (not in container) within 2 days of receipt at the address listed above.
-- I will plant my tree on private land, and not in the sidewalk along the street.
-- In order to ensure the survival of my tree:
+ Tree will be properly planted within one week of receiving my tree.
+ I agree to water my tree (20 gallons a week) from March through December for two years.
+ I will protect the tree from damage by pets, lawn mowers and other hazards.
-- I agree to allow TreePhilly to contact me for follow-up information about my tree.
-- I realize that receiving a tree does not guarantee its survival, and Philadelphia Parks & Recreation is not required to supply a replacement tree should my tree die.
