Tune in today to hear from Erica Smith Fichman @TreePhilly about what we're doing to help expand Philly's tree canopy and cool down the city ⤵️
Radio Times Archive@whyyradiotimes9 Aug 2022
TODAY: Extreme heat + zip codes. We’ll talk about climate change, what cities should do, the role of trees, heat islands & environmental justice. Join Ivana Gonzalez @esperanza_us, @PhilaParkandRec Erica Smith Fichman & @ArshtRock's Kurt Shickman. whyy.org/episodes/heat-islan…

Heat islands, urban trees and other cooling solutions for hot cities

Some Philadelphia neighborhoods with few trees can be 15 to 20 degrees hotter than more leafy zip codes. As climate change heats up cities, how can we cool them down?

The benefits of more trees go beyond health, heat and economic equity—though those are reason enough to increase Philly’s tree canopy, writes @roxanneshep. Here’s how other cities are doing just that. thephiladelphiacitizen.org/m…

Ideas We Should Steal: Plant More Trees

The benefits of trees go beyond health, heat and economic equity—though those are reason enough to increase Philly's tree canopy. Plant more.

Replying to @TreePhilly
@TreePhilly "...is expected to chart a course to increase the city’s tree coverage to 30% within 30 years, targeting areas with high levels of poverty, poor air quality, and poor health outcomes." Learn more about the future of Philly tree coverage: whyy.org/articles/a-carbon-p…

Say a final goodbye to the Belmont Plateau sugar maple, which is being removed any day now. After 90-plus years the tree that framed the Philly skyline has seen a lot of change. Blame the climate crisis for its early demise.

An iconic Fairmount Park tree featured in countless Philly skyline photos is dying — and being cut down. Planted almost a century ago to honor World War I veterans, the tree — a victim of age and climate change — now poses a public danger. trib.al/stZgw8d
