Beaver County highlights reforestation week, parks nursery expected to yield about 800 trees
Summary
Commissioners and staff recapped a week of reforestation events, including a maple‑syrup festival and a tree nursery project that officials said will produce about 800 trees for fall plantings in county parks.
Commissioners and staff described a week of reforestation events and stewardship activities at Beaver County parks during the April 23 work session.
One commissioner said they attended an autism acceptance walk and a ribbon cutting for the "Reforest Our Future" program and praised the work of Tony and the Parks and Recreation and DPW staff. The commissioner said the county received "a lot of compliments" about the maple syrup festival and that staff expect about 800 trees from the nursery to be available for planting in county parks and other areas in the fall.
The commissioner also outlined several upcoming community events organized by parks staff, including a spring-clean guided hike, a tree-identification guided hike, a potting workshop and a "forest fiesta" scheduled for the weekend. County staff credited Parks and Rec and DPW personnel for the program's progress and for maintaining the tree nursery that supports the fall plantings.
No formal actions were taken on the reforestation efforts during the work session; commissioners used the item to highlight ongoing park programming and volunteer stewardship.
