City funds Zero Fare program for another year

The City of Philadelphia’s FY 2027 budget allocated $25 million for the Zero Fare program in Mayor Parker’s budget. The funding will allow the service to continue for 12 months, which means advocates will need to lobby again for the program in the next budget. “Transit riders should not have to balance paying for food,

We often think of nature as something untouched: a We often think of nature as something untouched: a world apart from our city blocks and neighborhoods, where we go to escape the pace of daily life, take a walk, appreciate wildlife or simply find a moment of quiet. But the landscapes we cherish are rarely separate from us. In reality, behind every thriving park, flourishing community garden and backyard forest are people committed to caring for them. This issue explores the many ways neighbors, advocates, volunteers and public officials are working to improve and preserve our shared green spaces — from protecting insects and establishing arboretums to reclaiming vacant land and connecting young people with local waterways. Their stewardship efforts remind us that the natural spaces we enjoy are shaped by the choices we make to care for them. How we tend to these spaces will determine not only what survives, but how future generations experience the natural world — and whether these places continue to thrive for years to come. ➡️ Read the full Nature Issue now at gridphilly.com 📸 Cover photo by Matthew Bender #philadelphia #urbannature #urbangreenspace #phillyparks #protectnature
Ihad expected the logs, half-deflated basketballs, Ihad expected the logs, half-deflated basketballs, plastic bottles and other assorted urban debris when I tagged along with a crew from the Philadelphia Water Department tasked with cleaning out the Fairmount Dam fishway back in 2012. What I hadn’t expected was to see the workers pull out two flathead catfish the size of toddlers. The beasts had broad heads and lightly mottled tan patterns on their shiny, scaleless skin. A fishway (also called a fish ladder) consists of a linked series of closet-sized compartments, each a little higher than the last. These allow shad and other migratory fish to go up and over the dam in steps, resting when they need a break. The predatory flatheads had parked themselves in the compartments; their prey swam right to them. It might seem obvious that large predators eating shad in fish ladders could have an impact on the waterway. But flatheads can also discourage shad from even trying to go through the ladder. “So they’re not only preying on fish,” says Geoff Smith, a fisheries biologist with the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission who has worked on several studies of flathead catfish ecology. “They’re probably interfering with movement of fish through that fishway.” ➡️ Read the full story at gridphilly.com ✍️ Bernard Brown 📸 Photo courtesy of Connor Brown #philadelphia #flatheadcatfish #invasivespecies #fishladder #delawareriver

Farmers are worried, but they don’t want to talk a Farmers are worried, but they don’t want to talk about it. Evidence is mounting that the nutrient-rich sewage sludge many have applied to their farmland for decades as a low-cost fertilizer often contains perfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, a class of “forever chemicals” that resist degradation in nature and are hazardous to human health. Typically vocal about the challenges they face, farmers are reluctant to discuss their own experience spreading the stuff — and it’s not hard to see why. Ten years ago, Fred Stone learned that the cows on his third-generation Maine dairy farm were producing tainted milk. For decades, he had been spreading treated sewage across Stoneridge Farm’s 100 acres as part of a state program — one of many across the country. He’d never had a problem until the local water district found PFAS in a well it maintained on his land. The chemicals have been linked to a range of health risks, including cancer, decreased fertility, low birth weight and hormone disruption. In some of the farm’s milk, PFAS levels were 20 times higher than the federal limit for drinking water. It was present in soil, hay and manure as well — particularly in areas where the sewage sludge had been applied. By the time a state investigation concluded, Stone had put down many of his poisoned cows and racked up nearly $500,000 in debt. His farm became a warning to others around the country about the risks of using sewage sludge. ➡️ Read the full story at gridphilly.com ✍️ Ben Seal 📸 Matthew Bender #philadelphia #farming #pfas #foreverchemicals #biosolids
When Grid visited the LandHealth Institute (LHI) n When Grid visited the LandHealth Institute (LHI) nursery in May, community nursery operations lead Sara Mae Henke and native plant nursery associate Marcelino Smith were repotting hundreds of tiny bee balm plants from flats into pots to prepare them for sale. Behind them rose the arching end of a high tunnel greenhouse sheathed in plastic sheeting. In front of them, on the other side of a fence, stretched the endless rowhouse blocks of the River Wards. LHI was still settling in after moving from its previous nursery site in West Philadelphia’s Parkside neighborhood, which it had occupied since 2018. The Philadelphia Industrial Development Corporation, which owned the property, sold it earlier this year. The new LHI community nursery sits on part of the former Greensgrow Farm site, which closed in 2022, and is owned by New Kensington Community Development Corporation (NKCDC). The closure of Greensgrow, which leased the site from NKCDC, left a big blank spot on the map and in the life of the community. Catherine Reuter, NKCDC’s urban agriculture and community garden program manager, says the organization is still planning the property’s long-term future. “We’ve been in this reimagining period,” Reuter says. “We’re committed to making it stay urban agriculture- and community garden-focused, but still really dreaming and scheming around what the next 20, 40, 60 years should look like for the site and what investments we need to make.” ➡️ Read the full story at gridphilly.com ✍️ Bernard Brown 📸 Tracie Van Auken #philadelphia #communitygarden #urbangarden #nativeplants #nativeplantgarden
Flanked by cardboard signs reading “Free 5-Minute Flanked by cardboard signs reading “Free 5-Minute Tuneups” and “We Come to Your Bike!” Lauren “Mittens” Mitten lifted another bike — one of about 25 that day — onto a stand under the bright sun and got to work. Mitten, owner of The Mittens Pop Up Bike Shop, spent the afternoon of May 16 outside of Eco-Fair at Cherry Street Pier checking tires, inspecting frames, adjusting derailleurs and lubricating chains. But during these five-minute tuneups, Mitten sometimes discovers there’s more wrong with a bike than meets the eye. “People often don’t know what’s wrong with their bike,” Mitten says. Sometimes, a person who thinks they need a simple tuneup needs just that. Other times, Mitten starts working on a bike only to discover it needs replacement parts and hours of work. But thankfully for these riders who need more complex repairs, Mitten doesn’t only pop up at events like Eco-Fair and the Clark Park Farmers Market. As a mobile bike mechanic, Mitten makes house calls by appointment, fixing bikes at customers’ homes, workplaces or wherever they might get a flat tire. “I really love doing it mobile. People like it a lot because they didn’t have to take their bike anywhere — they didn’t have to lose their bike for a week or two,” Mitten says. “I really appreciate that I can make that accessible. In a bike shop, I couldn’t do that, because they would have to walk their bike a mile, or three miles.” ➡️ Read the full story at gridphilly.com ✍️ + 📸 Julia Lowe #philadelphia #bikemechanic #bikerepair #bikephilly #bikephl
Roughly half of the Swarthmore College field hocke Roughly half of the Swarthmore College field hockey team’s away games last season were played on “field hockey turf,” a water-based artificial turf standard for the sport. But because the college’s Clothier Field Stadium is “field turf” — which head coach Hannah Harris says varies widely from location to location and can affect player performance — the team had to travel up to 17 miles to other colleges’ fields so they could have some practice time on the surface ahead of the game. “This is what our sport is supposed to be played on,” Harris says of field hockey turf. “It’s something that every field hockey player wants to play on. It just completely changes the style of play in the game.” The team’s practice hardships would be alleviated by Swarthmore’s plans to upgrade the outdoor Cunningham Field by installing two synthetic fields, including one that’s field hockey turf. Then, the team would no longer need to head off campus to play on the artificial turf that’s been a mainstay in the practice conditions of the last two decades of NCAA champions, or share the turf field with other teams. But while college officials say the “reimagining” of Cunningham Field would additionally allow for increased year-round practice and reduced maintenance and injuries, neighbors are concerned about possible chemicals in the artificial turf, including PFAS and microplastics, as well as increased ground temperatures. Last March, when the college requested that Swarthmore Borough approve the new complex with the two synthetic turf fields, plus a natural grass field and 12 tennis courts, debates started between administrators and residents over who should decide the fate of Cunningham Field in a conversation that’s ongoing. ➡️ Read the full story at gridphilly.com ✍️ Lucy Tobier #delawarecounty #swarthmorecollege #syntheticturf #artificialturf #pfas

Early in 2026 in the Oxford Circle neighborhood, 1 Early in 2026 in the Oxford Circle neighborhood, 115 Philadelphians representing 15 different nationalities sat down to enjoy dinner at the first in a series of 21 events across seven diverse neighborhoods. The social impact project, called “Breaking Bread, Breaking Barriers” and conceived by president and CEO of The Welcoming Center (TWC) Anuj Gupta, rests on the conviction that sharing food can bring strangers together for meaningful conversations that lead to better understanding, stronger neighborhoods and more civic engagement. Host sites such as churches, mosques and community centers invite both longtime and newly arrived residents of their communities to attend these complementary dinners. But TWC’s goal is far greater than giving neighbors the chance to sample many new foods. Founded in 2003, TWC is a nonprofit whose mission is to provide pathways to economic growth and strengthen communities by assisting immigrants. Taj Sheikh, project manager for Breaking Bread, and Seth Myers, project coordinator, bring their mix of personality and professional experience to the myriad challenges of hosting large dinners citywide: coordinating logistics and providing up-to-date communications with the staff, host sites and a wide array of volunteers. Both Sheikh and Myers are transplants to Philly (Sheikh from Texas, Myers from Missouri), so they know what it means to be a new arrival to an established community. ➡️ Read the full story at gridphilly.com ✍️ Marilyn Anthony 📸 Taylor Ecker #philadelphia #immigrantcommunity #immigrantstories #communitycenter #culturalcuisine
My daughter lay in bed, her dark green cast proppe My daughter lay in bed, her dark green cast propped on a stack of pillows. “This sucks,” she said. As a rule I discourage the use of the word “sucks,” an artifact of how I was raised. But after reviewing the facts — injured on the last play of the last game of the season, four days before a summer vacation that’s suddenly without swimming or circus camp — I had to admit she was right. “Yes,” I said, “this sucks.” In addition to the pain, she had to process the grief of the loss of summer plans. As I read our climate chaos issue, I arrived at the same conclusion my daughter reached: This sucks. It’s positively heartbreaking that we humans disrupted the climate so greatly that there won’t be local apples this year. That Canada’s vast boreal forest may lose the ability to regenerate due to the pace of wildfires. That those fires — and their smoke — are no longer the exception, but the rule. We need to process that. ➡️ Read the full note from our publisher at gridphilly.com ✍️ Alex Mulcahy #philadelphia #climatechaos #climatechange #climatechangeisreal #climatechangeawareness
An empty shopfront on South Street is in the midst An empty shopfront on South Street is in the midst of transformation. Ennis Carter, the founder of Social Impact Studios, a Philadelphia-based “creative hub,” affixes bolts of colorful paper to a wall and unfurls a vibrant, refrigerator-sized hand-painted canvas beneath a banner proclaiming “Made with Artistry & Activism.” For the month of July, the space at Seventh and South streets will serve as the site of a pop-up exhibition celebrating the 30th anniversary of Social Impact Studios. The space, full of vivid posters encouraging viewers to “Make it Happen” and “Eat. Play. Live … Better,” feels a bit like a shrine to positivity, which, according to Carter, is exactly the point. “This is a really important moment to celebrate the idea of putting positive messaging out into the world,” she says. Social Impact Studios started as a passion project, run out of Carter’s bedroom. Since its inception, the studio has morphed and grown into a widely recognized institution that has worked on thousands of projects alongside nonprofits from across the country. “[We’re] like a creative agency, but for people who are making the world a better place,” Carter says. ➡️ Read the full story at gridphilly.com ✍️ Sophie Aanerud 📸 Taylor Ecker #philadelphia #socialimpact #socialimpactstudios #creativeagency #artandactivism

The past three summers in Philadelphia have seen s The past three summers in Philadelphia have seen smoke drifting overhead, making for beautiful sunsets and, when it settles close to the ground, hazardous air. That smoke came from forest fires that burned thousands of miles away in the boreal forests of Canada. These woods cover 270 million hectares (or about one million square miles) in Canada, equivalent to about 29% of the United States’ land area. To better understand what might be the new abnormal, Grid called up Yan Boulanger, a biologist with the Canadian Forest Service who studies the impact of climate change on the boreal forest. ➡️ Read the full interview at gridphilly.com ✍️ Bernard Brown 📸 Photo courtesy of Lynn Johnston, Canadian Forest Service #borealforest #climatechange #forestfire #wildfires #wildfiresmoke
In the gray light of early morning, four activists In the gray light of early morning, four activists snuck onto a bridge overlooking U.S. Route 202 in Pennsylvania. There on the chain-link fence, they clipped their banner and unfurled it in view of the sleepy commuters just starting to pass below. Spelled out in 90 feet of white paint on fluttering black canvas was the message: “Vanguard has a climate problem.” The activists, or “rebels,” were members of the Philadelphia chapter of Extinction Rebellion (XR), a global protest group that uses civil disobedience to demand that governments, companies and other powers take the climate emergency seriously. XR formed in the United Kingdom in 2018, following the release of a United Nations special report on climate change that starkly outlined the Earth’s trajectory toward nearly 3 degrees Celsius of warming by 2100. Spurred by the severity of the report and lackluster government response, a group of British activists and organizers launched Extinction Rebellion on Oct. 31. With colorful banners, joyful noise and firm resistance in the face of arrest, over a thousand protesters shut down the road outside the Houses of Parliament and recited their “Declaration of Rebellion.” The propulsive energy of the new movement spawned satellite XR groups across the world. Philadelphia’s chapter was founded in early 2019. That May, holding a green banner with the words “Rebel for Life,” XR Philly lent its voice to the global movement with a protest on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. ➡️ Read the full story at gridphilly.com ✍️ Sarah Ruiz 📸 Photo courtesy of Extinction Rebellion Philadelphia #philadelphia #climatecrisis #climatechange #climatechangeisreal #climatechangeawareness
Philadelphia, a city wedged between two rivers, ha Philadelphia, a city wedged between two rivers, has a long history of getting swamped by dangerous floods. Its future, which is forecast to bring increasingly climate-fueled deluges, doesn’t appear any brighter. That leaves a pertinent question for the present day: What are city officials going to do about it? As chronicled previously in Grid, the answer all too often has been: not much. But in a stroke of good news this spring, the City of Philadelphia helped its residents by joining the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Community Rating System, a federal designation that essentially amounts to a rewards program for good flood-planning behavior by cities and townships across the country. The primary benefit is that most property owners — residents and business owners — who hold a flood insurance policy will now automatically receive a 15% discount when their annual policy renews. With policies averaging about $800, that would mean typical savings of about $130 a year — a measurable difference for households squeezed by increasing costs of living, according to Chris Miller, principal agent of Miller Insurance, a FEMA-preferred flood insurance provider in Philadelphia. “For a lot of families, that’s a big deal,” says Miller, who travels annually to Washington to hear from lawmakers about flood insurance. “Every single year, flood insurance affordability is at the top of the list.” Now for the fine print. If you’re a Philadelphia homeowner wondering if you have flood insurance, you probably don’t. Very few standard policies cover flood damages, meaning a homeowner needs to go out of their way to obtain one. In Philadelphia, only a few thousand homeowners have taken that step, according to FEMA. ➡️ Read the full story at gridphilly.com ✍️ Kyle Bagenstose #philadelphia #climatechange #flooding #floodinsurance #floodresilience
When research was needed to create a climate resil When research was needed to create a climate resilience plan for the neighborhood surrounding North Philadelphia’s Tacony Creek, leaders of the Tookany/Tacony-Frankford Watershed Partnership (TTF) had something more ambitious in mind than a traditional written study. “We were going to bring together environmental organizations and leaders in this city, … then have experiences together where we’re seeing relevant climate resilience firsthand and hopefully getting inspired by that and using that as the foundation for action,” TTF executive director Justin DiBerardinis says. Unsure what that could look like in practice, DiBerardinis and TTF’s director of community organizing and public programs, Cesali Morales, put their heads together. The result was an idea inspired by longtime Philly gardener Iris Brown and based on Morales’ commitment to incorporate the cultures of the people TTF serves into the organization’s work. “When I think about Philadelphia and I think about the neighborhoods that surround Tacony Creek Park, I think about how influenced it is by Puerto Rican culture,” she says. “We don’t often get the chance to learn from the places that we left, … from people on the front lines that are facing this climate crisis and get to share in that, and learn and prioritize the cultures that reflect us.” So, on March 12, Morales and DiBerardinis, with a group of community leaders and state and city legislators in tow, boarded a plane to Puerto Rico in search of culturally relevant climate resilience techniques that could be implemented in North Philadelphia. ➡️ Read the full story at gridphilly.com ✍️ Gabriel Donahue 📸 Photo courtesy of Paul Racette, Pennsylvania Environmental Council #philadelphia #taconycreek #climatechange #climatecrisis #climateresilience

The helicopter was worth a shot, Dave Fahnestock t The helicopter was worth a shot, Dave Fahnestock thought. The owner of Hands on the Earth Orchard in Lititz, Lancaster County, which sells apples and peaches at farmers markets in Clark Park, Rittenhouse Square and Bala Cynwyd, hoped the downdraft from the propellers would mix warmer air with the freezing air hugging the ground across his 15 acres of fruit trees. In the days leading up to April 20, he had watched the forecast for the overnight low temperature go from worrisome to disastrous. “What could I do?” Fahnestock says. He and his crew lit fires around the orchard to show the pilot where to fly, and from 3–8 a.m., the helicopter went around in circles as Fahnestock kept an eye on a thermometer. “When he went over top, I could see it jump up 4 degrees, but till he circled back, it was cold again.” In spite of the helicopter, only the peach trees near the signal fires emerged with some healthy flowers; they should produce just enough fruit for Fahnestock’s family to enjoy — “Literally just a handful.” This year’s cold snap means that orchards across a wide swath from Ohio to southern New York will produce very little fruit this year. The tough question farmers are facing is how to prepare for a future of difficult spring weather. ➡️ Read the full story at gridphilly.com ✍️ Bernard Brown 📸 Photo courtesy of Linvilla Orchards #philadelphia #farming #pafarm #producefarm #climatechange
Could anything be worse than an early spring? In Could anything be worse than an early spring? In February, as we shivered under a shell of icy snow, we all looked forward to the melt. We imagined saying goodbye to our parkas and snow boots so that we could swap them for linen shirts and sandals. When that April heat came, we took to our porches and lingered outside to chat with our neighbors. It was lovely. But farmers were getting nervous. They knew that the early heat could be a setup. Perennial plants can be tricked into flowering and fruiting ahead of schedule, only to be blindsided when temperatures lurched back down below freezing. Climate chaos is local, regional and global all at once. In 2023, the snow blanketing the floor of boreal forests in Canada melted too soon, exposing deep layers of decaying twigs and conifer needles to the heat of a warmer summer. The dried-out fuel burned out of control when lit by bolts of lightning. It happened again in 2025. We’d better get used to it. In this issue, we take a look at some of the dominoes falling as we heat the planet, but we also take a look at how we might cope. How can the City make it easier to get flood insurance? Could we learn about climate resilience from Puerto Rico, an island battered by supercharged hurricanes? We’re stuck with this mess, but we’re not helpless. ➡️ Read the full Climate Chaos Issue now at gridphilly.com 📸 Cover photo courtesy of Alamy #philadelphia #climatechaos #climatechange #climatechangeisreal #climatechangeawareness
