The Derry Environmental Action Committee (DEAC) and the Township of Derry sponsored a tree planting on Nov. 12. A total of 20 street trees were planted in Derry Township through the efforts of many volunteers, including members of Boy Scout Troop 65 and the Lions Club.

Local resident Eamon Gallagher encouraged six of his neighbors to request the trees as well. The nearby locations made the task easier for the volunteer tree planters, helped conserve township resources and helped to beautify the neighborhood.

The project was funded through the TreePennsylvania 2022 Bare Root Tree Program.

Information about street tree planting to be held in the spring will be publicized in the Derry Township e-newsletter. Readers may subscribe to the e-newsletter at http://www.derrytownship.org/community/weekly-enews.
