Dina Richman has been working with Philly Tree People (PTP) since Spring 2007 when she  formed the group with Jacelyn Blank and Nykia Perez after meeting them at the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society's free Tree Tenders training course. All three tree tenders live in the Fishtown/Kensington area. PTP is dedicated to helping people get street trees in the neighborhood. PTP also helps to organize and mobilize neighbors and other community groups interested in planting trees, as well as assists with the aftercare of the trees. They are are volunteers and neighbors doing their part to make our neighborhoods stronger.
