Invasive-Replace-ive Pennsylvania

May 3 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm EDT

Non-native trees and shrubs are widely found in much of Pennsylvania, including but not limited to Callery peartree-of-heavenNorway mapleburning bushJapanese barberry, and butterfly bush. While many of these species are planted to add beauty and ornamental value to a landscape, numerous unsuspecting homeowners and commercial landscapers may not realize the negative ecological and economic impacts these species can have on nearby natural areas.

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.  Register Here
