Given the events of last June when smoke from Canadian wildfires resulted in some of the worst air pollution ever recorded in the Philadelphia region, some have wondered how this wildfire season might impact local air quality.
Awards to the DVRPC region included $12 million to Philadelphia in support of the Philly Tree Plan, and $850,000 each to Camden and Trenton to fund tree planting, maintenance, and planning. Camden received an additional $3 million in support of its City Tree Planting Initiative.
These one-day, introductory workshops, available on Tuesday, June 4, and Wednesday, June 5, from 10 am - 6 pm at DVRPC, will provide attendees with the training necessary to begin to implement effective Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) strategies in their communities.
National Air Quality Awareness Week kicks off efforts to reduce summertime air pollution by calling attention to important air quality issues and promoting actions individuals can take to make a difference.
