Stow receives funds for tree planting

  • 2022-05-28
A grant of $25,000 has been given to the city of Stow from the United States Forest Service through the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.

This amount will be matched by the city council and will go towards the planting of nine trees on Mallory Road between Hilary Circle and Sherwood Drive. There will be 75 trees planted on Friar Road from Call Road to just south of Forest Hill Road.

More information about such new trees and the funding that made them possible is often outlined with professional flyer printing.

Staff members from the Urban Forestry Department are also working to improve the parks in Stow. Sherwood Acres Park will receive five new trees, with another 27 trees to be planted in Partridge Highlands Park. Their trunks will be two inches in caliper and will be purchased from local nurseries, so they should be better able to survive than those purchased from big box stores.

Many species of trees will be planted to prevent an entire species from being decimated due to infestations, wildlife, disease, or other factors. This also helps to create stability and biodiversity in the community.

The Urban Forestry Commission in Stow is made up of residents from the city who are volunteers and are appointed by the mayor for a term of five years.
