Palmer Shade Tree Commission to feature Arbor Day in Q3 newsletter, expand outreach
Summary
The Shade Tree Commission decided the Q3 2026 newsletter (due July) will spotlight Arbor Day and asked AJ for a shortened version of his presentation for publication, while planning community outreach at the Charles Chrin Community Center and with local groups including Palmer BIP and the Kiwanis Club.
The Palmer Township Shade Tree Commission voted on May 7, 2026, to center its Q3 2026 newsletter on Arbor Day and to seek a shorter version of AJ’s Arbor Day presentation for publication, commissioners said.
Commission members also agreed to review photographs from the event for inclusion and discussed expanding outreach by staffing a meet-and-greet table at the Charles Chrin Community Center during high-traffic times. They identified local partners for distribution and promotion including the Palmer BIP group, the Kiwanis Club and neighborhood organizations.
Members reviewed ways to improve next year’s Arbor Day programming, proposing refinements to the raffle process, adjustments to the timing of food delivery, bringing additional serving supplies and targeted outreach to increase community participation while maintaining an educational focus on proper planting and tree maintenance.
Commissioners noted that the Q3 newsletter is due in July and that Tree City USA recognition materials are expected to arrive soon. The commission set the next regular meeting for June 4, 2026; a proposal to move the June meeting to June 11 at 5:30 p.m. for an upstairs ordinance review was discussed but remains pending confirmation and required advertising.
