Recognizing that open space in communities is crucial to the quality of lives, PECO has committed to supporting organizations in southeastern Pennsylvania with their ongoing efforts to preserve, protect, and improve public spaces and increase collective tree cover. PECO designed the Green Region Open Space Program to assist local communities in these efforts by providing funding for expenses not otherwise covered by state or county programs. Underlying the Green Region Program is PECO’s endorsement of enhancing tree cover and equitable access to the outdoors through deliberate planning for open space protection as a means to encourage the wisest use of scarce resources
