Tree planting helps beautify Springfield

In Springfield, 41 trees were recently planted along Mountain Avenue as part of the Union County Road Shade Tree Program, which is committed to placing trees every forty feet along both sides of all county roads.

The unusually large Springfield planting resulted from a cooperative local and county effort to identify and prepare appropriate locations. Upon completion of the project all owners will be given the names of the trees fronting their properties plus recommendations to ensure they thrive during the critical first year.

Mayor Sy Mullman commented: "Springfield has been making a great effort to beautify our community and we are grateful to the county for this substantial contribution".
