And our new partnership with Philadelphia Orchard Project.

View this email in your browser Announcing the Philadelphia Orchard Project (POP) LEARNING ORCHARD at The Woodlands! The Woodlands and the Philadelphia Orchard Project (POP) are announcing a new partnership and the establishment of the POP Learning Orchard at The Woodlands this week! Located along Woodland Avenue, the POP Learning Orchard will be a space designed to engage diverse Philadelphia communities in education, inspiration, and interaction with the environment. Local food chains are on people’s minds more than ever these days, as food shopping has taken on a whole new meaning. We are excited to be able to bring back food production to The Woodlands, both to help our community in new ways, and to transform the site closer to how it would have functioned in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.  In addition to providing valuable food resources, the orchard plantings will enliven the streetscape, and expanded joint programming will uplift The Woodlands’ rich horticultural history. Leveraging the power of food-based programs will enhance cultural and recreational opportunities for West Philadelphia residents, and attract a wide cross-section of users to this extraordinary green space. Jamie Gauthier, Councilmember for Philadelphia’s 3rd Council District covering West and Southwest Philadelphia, says “POP and The Woodlands are each indispensable organizations that connect our communities to nature and horticulture. Their new partnership will provide Philadelphia residents with rich resources—educationally, aesthetically, and nutritionally. I look forward to seeing the POP Learning Orchard grow over the months and years to come.” LEARN MORE ABOUT POP & THE WOODLANDS HERE POP staff and volunteers begin laying the groundwork for the new orchard. New Digital Tour!

I heard about this too. Unfortunately I think we are stuck in limbo because of what we all presume is legal issues with USciences. I'd suggest we continue to respect Jessica's wishes of not being asked for a dog park land update. 

This POP land was never leased to USciences.
