WDIY and the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources
invite you, our listeners, to plant a tree and become a part of Pennsylvania’s TreeVitalize program!

In response to alarming tree loss in our cities and towns, the PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources
created the TreeVitalize program in 2004 to help restore tree cover across the commonwealth. The public-private
partnership teaches people about tree planting as a way to become environmentally active, and helps local governments
revitalize their communities by restoring trees.

Now you will have the chance to help the TreeVitalize program in the Lehigh Valley.

This fall, WDIY, the PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and Allentown Parks and Recreation will be planting trees at Cedar Creek Parkway, Allentown (see photo below). Throughout our current fundraising drive, your donation will contribute trees for the planting area.

With a frequency membership donation of $88.10 to WDIY, we will plant one seedling and the PA Department of
Conservation and Natural Resources will match one seedling to be planted at the Cedar Creek Parkway site.

The trees will be planted along to the waterway to help with runoff, improve the quality of the water, and make the park
even more beautiful for future generations.

Trees provide so many benefits. In addition to beauty, shade and wildlife habitat, they improve air and water quality in our communities by absorbing the pollution that can affect our health. Tree-lined streets and parks also reduce stress and fatigue
for people.

TreeVitalize plans to plant one million trees across Pennsylvania by 2012. We need your help here in the Lehigh Valley.
Donate today to make our communities and state a better place to live, work and play!
