About
Description
Urban Tree Connection is a nonprofit organization based in West Philadelphia that aims to build a neighborhood rooted food and land system through community leadership development and land-based strategies. Since its establishment in 1989, Urban Tree Connection has been working with residents of West Philadelphia's Haddington neighborhood in developing community-driven greening and gardening projects on vacant land. Their mission is to cultivate community leadership, improve community health, and develop a local, sustainable, and equitable food system.
Over the years, Urban Tree Connection has transformed 29 vacant lots, totaling more than 86,000 square feet of land, into communal growing and gathering spaces, sustainable food production and distribution areas, and centers for multigenerational health and wellness education. The organization also operates a ΒΎ acre urban farm called Neighborhood Foods Farm, which produces over 6,500 pounds of chemical-free produce annually. Through their efforts, Urban Tree Connection has been at the forefront of urban farming and land reclamation movements in Philadelphia, pioneering key tools for the legal reclamation of abandoned properties.
By creating gardens on formerly abandoned lots, Urban Tree Connection has helped neighbors connect with each other and empowered them to transform their community. They offer a diverse array of educational and community programs to foster these connections. Urban Tree Connection collaborates closely with Haddington residents to develop a community-based local food system that makes affordable, healthy, locally grown food available to every neighbor.
This approach serves as a powerful antidote to food insecurity and diet-related illnesses faced by the residents. The organization is led by a dedicated Board of Directors, supported by an experienced staff. Their team works together to ensure the success of their programs and initiatives.
