All residents welcome. 

Haverford Township has demonstrated commitment to reducing climate change through many concrete actions - many of which have also saved the Township money. 

The Shade Tree Commission advises the Board of Commissioners and the Township Manager with respect to the preservation, maintenance and planting of shade trees in the Township.

Every Year the Shade Tree Commission has a shade tree giveaway!

Haverford  Recreation has projects throughout the year for the whole family! By removing invasive species and replacing them with natives, we are making our public open space more appealing to hikers, offering valuable  habitat to wildlife, and helping to control erosion. Our projects  require zero knowledge and minimal equipment. 

Each year, Tree Tenders plants trees in our parks and public places, over 1500 and counting.  While we have done so in the past, we are currently not planting trees for residents. We are affiliated with the PHS Tree Tenders Program.
