The Urban Airshed Reforestation Program is a community-based street tree planting program that began in Camden in 2002. We serve the City of Camden and surrounding South Jersey cities based on our resources. Designed to improve air quality, manage stormwater, and provide shade, the Urban Airshed Reforestation Program has removed approximately 90,813 square feet of impervious surface to plant 8,008 trees along city streets, 78 of which were planted in the Fall of 2023. Prioritizing grassroots work, the Urban Airshed Reforestation Program empowers residents to create positive changes in their own communities. Residents directly apply for and adopt trees, help organize events, and assist with the planting of each tree. To date, the Urban Airshed Reforestation Program has engaged approximately 16,077 volunteers from all walks of life in beautifying South Jersey’s cities.
On October 27th, 2022, the Urban Airshed Reforestation Program was recognized by Campbell’s Soup as part of the annual “Campbell Cares” award. This award, according to Campbell’s Soup: “recognizes and celebrates Campbell’s community partners who make a significant impact in the Camden community”. We thank Campbell’s Soup for the award, and look forward to continued partnership in Camden.
