‘Rewilding Philadelphia’ greening project brings pocket forest to Kensington

Rewilding Philadelphia, a collaborative urban conservation project led by artist Pete Angevine, aims to create a pocket forest in Kensington using the Miyawaki Method. The initiative, funded by the William Penn Foundation, will plant 1,500 trees on a former industrial site at 2717 Jasper St. to address environmental justice and boost biodiversity, with community involvement in paid opportunities and artistic enhancements.
