An Informative Look at Phoenixville's Urban Forest

An online, interactive article has been published to share information about the benefits of Phoenixville's public trees.

Phoenixville's Urban Forest Story Map was developed to share information about Phoenixville's publicly-owned urban forest. The interactive story covers topics ranging from the benefits of urban trees to the management of the invasive insect, emerald ash borer.

Trees provide many benefits to Borough residents, and the Phoenixville Tree Advisory Commission is optimistic about future planting projects. Phoenixville residents who think managing and maintaining the urban forest in the Borough is important should contact their council person and let them know they would like to have additional public trees planted in their wards. You can find contact info for Borough Council here.
