Trees
Trees both help us to prevent and adapt to climate change. Trees sequester carbon dioxide, the primary greenhouse gas, which helps to reduce climate change by acting as a carbon sink. They also help mitigate our rising temperatures by providing shading, which can lower temperatures by 20-45 degF

Haverford Tree Tenders was founded in 2009 and has since planted over 1500 trees in the Township. We are affiliated with the PHS Tree Tenders Program.
Each year, Tree Tenders plants trees in our parks and public places. While we have done so in the past, we are currently not planting trees for residents.

Spotted lanternfly (SLF) is an invasive insect that has spread throughout Pennsylvania since its discovery in Berks County in 2014. SLF feeds on the plant sap of many different plants including grapevines, maples, black walnut, and other important plants in PA. If you see SLF, help us stop it in its tracks!
