SUMMARY:"Ready to Root" Tree Distribution Day
DESCRIPTION:PHILADELPHIA\, PA — Pennsylvania Interfaith Power & Light (PA IPL) and the Cobbs Creek Community Environmental Center (CCCEC) will host “Ready to Root: Tree Distribution Event” on October 20th at CCCEC\, located at 700 Cobbs Creek Parkway\, Philadelphia\, PA 19143. \nThis free community event is a celebration of urban forestry and grassroots tree leadership from increasing tree canopy equitably in Philadelphia. Attendees will enjoy partner tabling\, educational activities\, a guided tree walk around the Cobbs Creek Community Environmental Center\, and more. The primary purpose of the day is to distribute almost 1\,500 trees to the leaders and community distributors who pre-ordered trees with PA IPL for Fall 2026. \nA limited supply of no-cost trees for yards\, houses of worship\, public parks\, or other community spaces will also be available on a first-come\, first-served basis for those who did not place an advanced order. \nIn the afternoon\, (3-6pm) certified arborists and environmental educators will be facilitating “Tree Walks” in the park to teach proper tree care to attendees. Educators include representatives from Cobbs Creek Community Environmental Center and PHS. \nCommunity Event Schedule\, 3:00 – 6:00 PM:\n● 3:10pm\, open remarks\n● 3:30pm\, arbor walk on watering and mulching\n● 4:30pm\, arbor walk on tree pruning \nVolunteers are the backbone of this effort. The greatest need is for morning volunteers (8:00 AM– 2:00 PM) to help unload trees from the truck\, sort them\, and tag them by species. Afternoon volunteers (2:00 PM – 6:00 PM) will help continue sorting orders and passing out trees as people arrive to pick them up. All volunteers (if planting in eligible neighborhoods) will be prioritized for the tree giveaway. \n“This event is the fruit of deep collaboration and a shared commitment to tree equity\,” said Dominique London\, Tree Program Manager at PA IPL. “We are thrilled to work with the Cobbs Creek Community Environmental Center to put trees into the ground where they are needed most while honoring the privacy and leadership of our planters. We invite everyone to come out\, learn about urban forestry\, and take home a tree.” \nRoots Branches and Hands is a multi-faith community & urban forestry program advancing tree equity across Pennsylvania by investing in the future of our canopy by distributing no-cost native trees\, providing technical assistance support for community trees projects\, and offering leadership training/project coaching. PA IPL’s program is designed to empower communities\, improve air & water quality\, increase habitat\, and support climate resiliency. Read more about the program here: https://paipl.us/roots-branches-hands/ \nRoots\, Branches\, & Hands is made possible through federal funding awarded through American Forests from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) United States Forest Service (USFS) Community & Urban Forestry Program as well as Hulpits Fund – Sierra Club and several Sierra Club Chapters. Nothing shared in this press release or through the program should be understood as representing the official views of the USDA or USFS. \n_______ \nPennsylvania Interfaith Power & Light (PA IPL) is a statewide nonprofit organization that\nmobilizes people of faith and conscience to take action on climate change\, advance clean energy\, and promote tree equity across the six watersheds of Pennsylvania and Delaware. \n_______ \nThe Cobbs Creek Community Environmental Center\, which is operated and managed by Philadelphia Parks and Recreation\, is dedicated to connecting the Cobbs Creek community with nature\, promoting environmental stewardship\, and providing educational opportunities for all\nages. \n###\nMedia Contact:\nK Ruth\nPA IPL Executive Director\n(717) 424-8560\ndirector@paipl.org\npaipl.org

SUMMARY:Climate & Health Roundtable and Listening Circle
DESCRIPTION:Faith Community Climate & Health Roundtable Climate and Health Listening Circle\n\n\nHosted by PA IPL and Bread & Roses Community Fund\n\nCongregations and faith-based groups are on the frontlines of providing critical resources and services to communities. By providing these resources\, faith communities are responding to the environmental and climate needs of communities\, often without defining the work in an environmental or climate justice framework. Faith communities provide blankets when it’s cold\, cooling when it’s hot\, access to food pantries and other critical resources communities need as extreme weather events increase and worsen. \nClimate change and adverse health outcomes are significant and growing challenges\, particularly for low-income communities of color\, the elderly\, children\, and pregnant people in the Philadelphia region. Climate-related health issues contribute to a widening healthcare gap\, which is acute for many neighborhoods and residents that faith communities serve. \nJoin us for a community meal and roundtable to unpack how climate change is impacting the health and wellness of people the faith community serves and the role the faith community plays in climate resilience and justice. The knowledge roundtable participants’ share will anonymously inform a climate and health feasibility project\, which is the first step in the potential development of a climate and health fund by Bread & Roses Community Fund. Attendance is capped to 30 participants so register today! \nRoundtable participants will receive a $50 gift certificate and a meal for sharing their wisdom and expertise. This convening is limited to folks in the following six counties: Philadelphia\, Bucks\, Delaware\, Chester\, Montgomery\, and Camden (NJ).  \nLocation: Germantown Unitarian Church6511 Lincoln Dr\, Philadelphia\, PA19119Date: Thursday\, May 29thTime: 6:00-6:30 pm Community Meal 6:30-8:30 Roundtable Discussion \n \nWho is this circle for?\n\nYou are a religious leader supporting your congregation in providing community services like a food pantry\, shelter\, or health clinics\nYou are a volunteer who supports your local congregation in providing community services like a food pantry\, shelter\, or health clinics\nYou are a person who accesses community services through a local congregation’s food pantry\, shelter\, or health clinic\nYou are a person of faith/conscience/values that supports community mutual aid efforts\nYou are a person who holds a unique perspective or experience or passion related to gaps in the region at the intersections of faith\, climate\, and health\n\n \nIf you are not sure if this circle is a good fit for you\, please reach out to Sparrow sparrow@paipl.org to learn more about this circle\, who it is designed for\, and what outcomes we hope to achieve. \n \nAccessibility:\nGetting There: \n\nBy public transportation: Accessible by Regional Rail Line (R8 – Chestnut Hill West – Upsal Train Station) just two blocks North of the Church.
