Planting trees is an act of hope, faith, and healing.

PA IPL is pleased to again be providing an opportunity this Spring to distribute no-cost native trees throughout Pennsylvania, through PA Plants Native! Trees (and shrubs) are provided at NO-COST to you and your community at a number of distribution points throughout the state.

Requesting native trees through the program is simple – we’ve broken it down into three easy steps!

  1. Visit our Tree Planting Guide

Native Trees and Shrubs can be planted in all kinds of places! You can ask for as many trees/shrubs as you can plant. If you are new to native trees or unsure what to plant at your property or just need a refresher, check out our *NEW* PPN Planter’s Guide which has a ton of resources (that we will keep adding to) to help support your tree planting planning.

  1. Complete our Request Form

Once you’ve learned about the benefits of native trees and made your planting plan, you’ll want to visit our request form next. That will allow you to tell us some information about you, what native trees you are looking for, and where you are planning to pick them up and plant them. Please make your request as soon as possible – by January 15th is ideal, latest by January 18th.

  1. Join our Planters’ Community!

We aren’t just planting trees! We are growing communities of care, connection, and climate resilience. PPN wouldn’t happen without the myriad of volunteers that dedicate hours of their time each season to getting trees out into the community. Whether you plant a tree, volunteer to help tag trees, or give to cover costs – find a way to get involved if you can and remember to say thank you. Reach out to creationcare@paipl.org, noting your location, availability, and skills if you’d like to help make more magic happen!
