Upper Darby Township Shade Tree Commission Meeting May 21, 2026

The Upper Darby Township Shade Tree Commission held a meeting on May 21, 2026, focusing primarily on tree planting and park improvement projects within the township. Key procurement-related discussions included updates on tree planting efforts at Naylor's Run Park, where 50 trees were planted with township-ordered supplies, and plans for a Milwaukee Forest planting in the fall. The commission also discussed equipment availability for watering and maintaining trees, such as a 275-gallon tank and related pumping systems. There was mention of coordination with public works for maintenance and protection of newly planted trees, including fencing to prevent deer damage. No formal votes or contract awards were recorded, but the meeting emphasized ongoing collaboration with township departments and volunteer groups to support capital improvement projects related to urban forestry and park enhancements.
