Summary

Members discussed long-term plantings, potential partnerships (Bucks Beautiful, businesses), a planned Tree Tenders pruning effort in March/April, and aligning a street-tree replacement plan with the Tree City USA Growth Award and the borough comprehensive plan.

Commissioners reviewed long-term planning priorities including ideas for future plantings, bare-root tree options and partnerships with Bucks Beautiful and nearby businesses. The group discussed organizing Tree Tenders group pruning efforts in March or April and whether to partner with other organizations or run independent pruning events.
