🌲🌳Happy Belated Arbor Day!🌳🌲

Had a wonderful time with the Merchantville Shade Tree Commission this morning planting two new native trees at the community center to celebrate Arbor Day.

It was great to see all of the community members (especially our young volunteers) out to celebrate and support the commission’s work to enhance the natural beauty of our borough!

The Shade Tree Commission continues to work hard to strengthen Merchantville’s tree canopy - planting 44 new native trees over the last few months.

Thank you to the Shade Tree Commission and all of our dedicated volunteers who give generously of their time to help keep Merchantville the beautiful green community we all love!
