Join Fairmount Park Conservancy and Philadelphia Parks & Recreation for a tour of two West Fairmount Park gems – Greenland Nursery and the Organic Recycling Cen
ter, home to the Reforestation Hub. After the hike, we’ll learn all about the fascinating life cycle of a tree in the park with a visit to Greenland Nursery, where plants are grown to support park natural area restoration projects, followed by a visit to the Organic Recycling Center, where fallen trees and piles of leaves can find new life as mulch, woodchips, or compost.
