Tree Planting 'Block Party'

The Phoenixville Shade Tree Advisory Commission organized a 'block party' to plant trees on Church St. This was a much needed planting because all of the trees were removed from this street several years ago and they had never been replaced.

Nearly 50 volunteers showed up to plant the 37 parrotias, Japanese lilacs, red maples, and silverbells....



I brought Smokey the Bear to the event to promote environmental awareness and get the kids excited...


The street looks great with the new plantings...


Just imagine how nice it is going to look in a few years!
