As planning for the Philadelphia University day of service drew closer, many other volunteers came forward to lend their support. Funding for this project came from Philadelphia Councilman Curtis Jones, Jr., the Schuylkill Project (William Penn Foundation grant), and an East Falls Community Council community grant. SEPTA approved the student designs, removed fencing along Midvale Avenue, fixed broken fencing and removed dead trees and vines. SEPTA personnel, under the leadership of Skip Brooke, were also there all day supporting the students and making sure they were safe. Ken Kolodziej, an East Falls resident, worked hard to make sure all of the trees were delivered to the site, brought in workers and contributed supplies. Ogontz Avenue Revitalization Corp. donated 18 trees. PWD contributed rain barrels for the Station buildings. PHS supplied all required tools. Tom Bateman, East Falls resident, has volunteered to water the trees for the next two years. (Editor?EUR??,,????'?????<"Water the Trees? Oops, We Thought You Did".)
