Area civics were busy increasing the canopy over South Philly Saturday.

Ben Cromie, top right, and some teens helped to plant one outside of Wells Fargo Bank, 2532 S. 13th St. The tree was one of 68 that Lower Moyamensing, in collaboration with East Passyunk Crossing and Newbold civic associations, put in the ground.
