Fairmount Park Conservation Project


Students in Temple University’s Department of Landscape Architecture and Horticulture have a goal of leaving a positive environmental impact on their communities. On Friday, September 30, students and faculty worked to leave a legacy in Fairmount Park that will be enjoyed for generations to come. Students and faculty from the Department of Landscape Architecture and Horticulture, part of Temple’s School of Environmental Design, planted more than 100 trees in Fairmount Park, trees that students grew and nurtured at Temple University Ambler. The project was part of an ongoing partnership between the Department of Landscape Architecture and Horticulture, the Ambler Arboretum of Temple University, the Philadelphia Zoo, and Fairmount Park to plant more than 2,000 trees, reducing the city’s carbon footprint while restoring vital wildlife habitat and helping to control stormwater runoff.
