Doylestown to close current Street Tree Initiative request form after 16 trees planted

Jun 9, 2026

The Shade Tree Commission decided to close the current phase of the Street Tree Initiative after planting 16 trees in Old Orchard; staff will move planting efforts toward Clemens and add small signs to identify program trees.

The full story

Grant Rowe, the borough's sustainability coordinator, told the Shade Tree Commission the borough has planted 16 trees in the Old Orchard neighborhood under its Street Tree Initiative and will next move toward Clemens. Rowe said the supply of available trees is dwindling and there is little time left in the planting season, so the commission decided to close the current request form for this phase of the program.
