EAC (Environmental Advisory Committee) planting 60 trees at Episcopal Academy
Tree Planting is scheduled for Saturday Oct. 8, 2011 from 8:30pm- noon. Rain date is Sunday., October 9, 12 noon till 2:30pm. We are seeking 20 - 25 persons. The tree planting will take place at the very lowest point of Episcopal Academy property where excess storm water runoff could flow into tributaries of Lewis Run. It's an area approximately 30' X 685'. This is a TreeVitalize project sponsored by the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society.
Marple Newtown Boy Scouts will be assisting with perhaps 15 solid young men so we need 10 more individuals.

We will have holes pre-augured. The Township will be offering their compost and mulch to complete the project. Material for protective fencing to fit around every tree is being ordered.
