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

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.
