Join us for our first neighborhood tree planting from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 23, at Norwood Fontbonne Academy’s parking lot between East Sunset and Norwood Avenues!
At 10:00 David Bower, volunteer coordinator for Fairmount Park, Parks and Recreation, will be demonstrating how to plant a tree. Between noon and 2 p.m. volunteers will join homeowners and help plant approximately 30 trees along Chestnut Hill’s residential streets.
The Green Space Initiative’s Re-Tree Chestnut Hill project has now moved into its second phase and is expanding its efforts to include residential streets throughout the rest of Chestnut Hill. A Pennsylvania Horticultural Society Tree Tenders Group has joined in the efforts of the Green Space Initiative.
The tree tenders group has been meeting since the fall of 2015, and residents throughout Chestnut Hill will be receiving free street trees through a joint project of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society and the Philadelphia Parks and Recreation Department. This follows the GSI's planting of over 70 trees last year on Germantown Avenue.
Applications for free street trees are available now for the fall planting and are due by April 29.
Download the application online at www.chestnuthill.org/gsi. If you have any questions please contact our residential program leaders, Mary Ann Boyer at maboyer61@gmail.com and Leslie Cerf at lesliecerf@gmail.com, or the CHCA office at 215-248-8810.
