New programs
In the coming fiscal year the Society intends to reach out to area schools to provide funding and materials for promoting horticultural activities such as pollinator gardens and native species gardens. There is also a proposal to assist and promote tree planting in the wake of the destruction of ash trees due to invasive insects. The Society is exploring working with existing wood lot owners on this initiative. We are exploring funding a defibrillator at a popular Township park where the Society is currently maintaining a series of gardens including a native species project.
