1,000 Greened Acres Celebration


Mayor Kenney & PWD Mark 1,000th Greened Acre

Philly recently crossed a big milestone in the movement to make our rivers and creeks cleaner than they've been in generations: we now how have 1,000 Greened Acres soaking up stormwater and preventing sewer overflows.

Check out our blog to learn what that means for our waterways and find out why we wanted to thank community groups, nonprofits, businesses, organizations and residents.
