A Message From The Shade Tree Commission
The Shade Tree Commission would like to thank the Board of Supervisors and Whitpain residents for their support in 2025.
It was another successful year, as we gave away 465 native trees to residents at our April 2025, Arbor Day Native Tree Giveaway. We also participated in the Township Earth Day Event in April, and acted as judges for the great many posters and poems created by students at our local elementary schools.
As part of Earth Day, we also partnered with Blue Bell Elementary to plant a swamp white oak tree on their property for current and future students to enjoy. In addition, we planted 22 large street trees throughout the Township with our popular Street Tree Program.
Finally, we engaged with residents at the fall Community Festival, where we had a free drawing for native trees and shrubs, and enjoyed talking with interested residents and families about Whitpain’s forest health.
Look for more great events in 2026 from the Shade Tree Commission!
