Thanks for Helping Our New Trees!

Over 100 trees were planted by Essex County Public Works as part of a dog park buffer for the nearby residents. It's also helping to re-establish the plantings that were around the park originally. The plant selection is a mix of evergreens including spruces, hemlocks, cedars and pines as well as flowering dogwoods. The plants were selected based on historic planting plans, existing conditions, budget and availability.

George Prell, Co-Chair of the Conservancy, began a watering inititative. He and a small number of volunteers (Carolyn Burton, Paul Cote, Barbara Miller, Nick Joanow, and Mike Ser) helped save the majority of plantings. Thanks to the NJ Tree Foundation for the plants, themselves!
