Warminster Rotarians gathered on 10/19/24 and 10/20/24 in the field behind Guiseppis & the Ben Wilson Senior Center to plant trees. Funded in part by a Rotary District 7430 grant, the trees planted in this basin were specially selected by the Neshaminy Watershed Association (NWA) to improve our local environment.
Ken Jones, NWA President instructed participants about the different species and how to properly plant them.
The field was marked with various flags to indicate which trees were to be planted and where. 
Holes were pre-augered allowing Rotarians to expand the area and place the saplings. Once set in the ground, the sprouts were then mulched and watered.
This project helps reduce stormwater runoff into the Neshaminy Creek, creates a habitat for wildlife, and beautifies the wetland area. Educational signage will soon be placed close to the basin explaining the project's importance.
Thank you to the partners in this project: Warminster Environmental Advisory Council, Penn State Master Watershed Stewards, Warminster Municipal Authority, and The Warminster Rotary Club.
