38 NSiB VOLUNTEERS PLANTED OVER 40 TREES ON GOSHEN WALKING TRAIL, OCTOBER 19TH!

 

The trees and supplies are supported by the $4,000 “Healing the Planet” grant from The GIANT Company and Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful® and the $10,000 grant provided by PA District 168 Representative, Lisa Borowski, from the Pennsylvania state budget.  NSiB used the $4,000 and $10,000 grants to replant 38 native trees and 14 native shrubs on the 1 mile-long tree corridor between the Goshen Walking Trail and Goshen Road where many of the ash trees had to be removed due to the Emerald Ash Borer. The surplus of the Pennsylvania state grant will be used to expand Newtown Square’s tree planting initiatives. Work on this NSiB project at Goshen Walking Trail was done with assistance from 38 volunteers who offered their services along with Newtown Township Public Works, Newtown Township Environmental Advisory Council, Newtown Township Parks & Recreation, Newtown Square in Bloom and Shade Tree Commission.

We are In Bloom

In 2015, Newtown Square joined the national organization, America in Bloom, and has started its own chapter, Newtown Square in Bloom. In its first year of membership, Newtown Square was awarded a Special Award from America in Bloom for its Hanging Basket Container Displays and Special Mention for Heritage Preservation.

Newtown Square in Bloom seeks to:
• bolster civic pride through planting trees, bushes, and floral displays; as well as developing other environmental and lifestyle enhancements; • involve all aspects of Newtown Square communities including residents, businesses, municipal and non-profit entities in planting & beautifying Newtown Square;   •  strengthen our sense of community with volunteer participation from all different age populations from school age children to older adults.

We Participate in the National Awards Program

America in Bloom is a national awards program unlike any other. It celebrates quality of life in communities of all types and provides a framework for further progress. AIB celebrates and recognizes the great things our participants are doing to “plant pride” in America.

Newtown Square is grouped by population category which varies each year depending on the number of entries. America in Bloom sends a team of two specially trained judges to visit each entrant; spending up to two days touring with you, meeting leaders and volunteers while you showcase your efforts. The judges provide a detailed written evaluation rating our Township by six categories.
