Elverson Shade Tree Commission
The Elverson Shade Tree Commission was formed in 2009 for the purpose of protecting Elverson’s street trees. It was officially established with Ordinance no. 2009-02 consisting of five Borough residents.
Commission members are as follows:
Esther Prosser, esther@stoltzfus.com
Karen Ely, karenely1@aol.com
Angie Fracciolo, angifacc@ptd.net
Teri Tegtmeier, thetegtmeiers@windstream.net
Dan Nulton, dnulton@shemin.net
We are currently working on the following:- Documenting all street trees according to location, species, condition and size.
- Planning for the proper care of these trees. For 2010, Heilner Landscaping trimmed trees along S. Pine Street and prepared tree wells for the trees needing them along the street.
- Working closely with the revitalization committee for the proper planting or removal of street trees along Route 23.
According to the Ordinance, if a resident would like to remove or replace a street tree on his/her property, he/she should apply by completing a permit which will be reviewed by the Commission and either approved or rejected. See Section 8 of the Ordinance for details.
If you would like to join our efforts to properly care for our town’s street trees, please contact Esther Prosser, Chairperson. We usually meet monthly or on an as needed basis at Borough Hall.
