Volunteers Needed for Fall Tree Planting in Phoenixville
Want to spruce up the borough a bit?
The Borough will be planting 32 trees on the morning of Saturday, November 14th, 2015. The trees were purchased through a grant from the Pennsylvania Horticulture Society in conjunction with their TreeVitalize program and Plant One Million campaign. Trees will be planted in parks and along streets in the Borough.
The volunteer group will meet at Reeves Park near the bandstand at 9 am for a demonstration planting after which the group will split up and plant the other 36 trees. This is a great way for residents and families to enjoy the outdoors and give back to the community. If you are interested in volunteering please contact the Phoenixville Tree Advisory Commission at phxville.tac@gmail.com.
Trees provide many benefits to Borough residents, and the TAC 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.
