Edgmont Township expands tree sale to all

With Earth Day quickly approaching, area residents can add a touch of green to their yard and community all with the help of a local municipality. A local sale has recently expanded to all that may be interested.

As previously reported, the Township was offering trees, but limiting orders to residents of Edgemont Township alone. Now, the sale has expanded to allow any interested person to place an order until April 18.

“We are now opening it up to the public (not just the Edgmont residents), so anyone can purchase a tree!” said Anne Rapposelli, Administrative Assistant for the township.

Edgmont is now offering a selection of native trees (with a total of 100 trees available), which can be ordered online. Participants may order as many as they would like, while supplies last. Registration and payment are required. 

“Native trees help keep Edgmont Township beautiful and green while supporting birds, pollinators, and other wildlife,” said Anne Thorne, chair of the Board of Supervisors. “The township is proud to cover a portion of the cost so residents can purchase the trees at a discounted price.”

The trees are $10 each. The varieties include dogwood, pine, oak, red maple, serviceberry, and sweet bay magnolia. The saplings arrive in 2-gallon containers, and the trees range from 1- to 4-feet tall.

Residents can pick up their new tree, or trees, on April 18 from 10 a.m. to noon at the township building, 1000 Gradyville Road.
