Conservancy will fund Narberth’s Nov. 14 tree planting after borough pause

The Narberth Shade Tree Commission confirmed plans for a fall planting on Saturday, Nov. 14, and said the Lower Merion Conservancy will order and pay for the trees for this cycle because the borough is not funding sufficient plantings this time. Chair (speaker 2) told the commission members the Conservancy asked for early species-counts so it can secure appropriate stock.

Commissioners discussed next steps for the order and outreach: volunteers will continue door‑to‑door canvassing, the commission will produce a flyer and QR code to capture additional requests, and staff or a designated volunteer will type preorders into the commission’s spreadsheet so the Conservancy can finalize species lists. The group set internal deadlines in October for order submission to allow time for delivery logistics and hole‑digging the week before planting.
