Chestnut Hill Tree Planting Event Set For April 22

If you love the outdoors and want to see more trees in the Chestnut Hill area, clear your calendar for April 22. A community tree planting event will be held on residential streets in the Chestnut Hill area, courtesy of The Green Space Initiative's Re-Tree Chestnut Hill project.

The second neighborhood tree planting from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 22, at the Chestnut Hill Friends Meeting House parking lot, 20 East Mermaid Lane, Philadelphia.

Tools and training will be provided, so all you need to bring is a good work ethic and a love of nature!

Interested parties should contact Rose Johnson at rlj1311@aol.com or call the Chestnut Hill Community Association office at (215) 248-8810 to help with the tree planting.

Applications for free street trees are available now for the fall planting, too. Anyone interested in a fall tree should contact Mary Ann Boyer at maboyer61@gmail.com.

Applications for fall street trees are due May 3.
