Conservancy’s potted trees change volunteer roles; commission adjusts plans for planting day

Commissioners reviewed delivery logistics after the Conservancy agreed to place the tree order. Chair explained the Conservancy’s stock will arrive in large pots (not bare‑root), with bamboo supports, which reduces the need for staking volunteers but requires different handling and staging at the delivery site.

Members discussed possible delivery to the borough garage for organization, the need to confirm whether the Conservancy can deliver to that site, and how volunteer tasks will shift (e.g., more focus on tree‑pit inspection and placement rather than pounding stakes). The group agreed to capture these material and volunteer changes in the planting-day assignments to avoid confusion on the day of planting.
