The Pennsylvania Invasive Replace-ive Program is a new initiative that will give homeowners and others the option to remove invasive trees and shrubs from their property and replace them with native trees. Doing so will help reduce the likelihood of these species becoming unwanted “escapees” into neighboring properties, parks, and forests, and native trees help diversify the urban landscape.

Property owners are encouraged to remove one or more invasive species and receive up to (5) FREE, healthy, native, young replacement trees. Program events begin in May.
