Attention tree lovers!

Do you have a historic tree on your property, or do you know of a tree in the Township that could be historic? We want to know about it! Historic trees are significant because they have witnessed historic or cultural events, are associated with famous people or places, or have a unique quality such as being remarkably old or take an unusual shape. Help us create a Historic Tree Registry for the Township by emailing the details of your historic tree to info@doylestownpa.org

 

Invasive Species

The next time you decide to plant something in your yard, make sure you’re not planting an invasive species! Invasive plants grow rapidly, are difficult and expensive to control, and push native plants out of their natural areas. They are damaging not only to other plants, but to the entire ecosystem. Invasive plants eliminate food and habitat for wildlife, alter nutrient cycling in soils, and can inhibit native plant regeneration, typically by growing over the existing plant and blocking it from the sun.

Here are some ways you can help to avoid the spread of invasive plants:

  • Avoid using known invasive plants.
  • Remove invasive plants when they are present in low numbers or when they are confined to a small area before they become a problem.
  • Dispose of removed invasive plants wisely.
  • Clean equipment that has been used in an area having invasive plants.

Instead, choose plants that are native or noninvasive to your area. Natives are often adapted to a specific environmental niche, and have natural controls that keep them in balance. Native plants in Pennsylvania include sunflowers, turtleheads, sycamore trees, sugar maples, and Indian grass.

Buy a Seat of Honor
Are you looking for a special way to honor an exceptional person? Is there a special event you wish to commemorate? Would you like to recognize an organization that supports the community? 

If so, consider sponsoring a dedication bench that will be placed in prominent view for the public to appreciate for years to come. The Doylestown Bike and Hike Committee is offering an attractive steel bench set in concrete and placed along one of the bike/hike paths or in the surrounding Doylestown area. Your donation of $2500 will provide for the bench with a permanently inserted bronze plaque, and its installation. The wording of the dedication and site of installation would be recommended by you. 

If the idea of this unique tribute interests you, please contact us through Doylestown Township at(215) 348-9915 or Doylestown Borough at (215) 345-4140 or click here for the order form.
