Shade Tree Commission praises Easton Area School District landscape plan, suggests maintenance-minded tweaks
Summary
The Shade Tree Commission reviewed the Easton Area School District landscape plan and commended its species diversity, emphasis on native species, Route 22 screening and parking-lot plantings; commissioners recommended documenting diversity and considering alternate planting patterns to reduce maintenance risks from disease or infestation.
On May 7, 2026, the Palmer Township Shade Tree Commission reviewed the Easton Area School District’s landscape plan and expressed overall approval of its variety of species and preference for primarily native plantings, commissioners said.
Members specifically praised the screening along Route 22, the parking-lot plantings and the plan’s planting notes that require removal of wire baskets and burlap at installation. Commissioners recommended that the plan record the strong species diversity and suggested considering alternate planting patterns to reduce future maintenance burdens if disease or infestation occurs.
The review produced advisory recommendations rather than a binding directive; no formal motion or vote on the school district plan was recorded in the meeting minutes.
