2023 Remarkable TreeWinner Announcement
And the Remarkable Tree winner is.....
a rare White Ash tree over 200 years old located near Trimble Road
This majestic White Ash (Fraxinus americana) tree located near Trimble Road (see picture above) is one of the larger ones remaining in the region from the Emerald Ash Borer infestation which invaded western Pennsylvania circa 2007. With a measured circumference of 14.5 feet and a diameter of 55 inches, a formula published by the International Society of Arboriculture calculates it to be approximately 275 years old, although its owners, Francie & Alan Cech, and their tree professionals caring for it estimate it to be between 175 to over 200 years old. As best stated by Francie Cech in her nomination, “The age of this tree is remarkable, let alone the ‘stories it could tell’ of life, and change, in Franklin Park.” Don’t miss the other remarkable trees nominated in 2023 which will be featured in the Borough’s Fall Newsletter! Nominations are now being accepted for 2024. If you know of a Remarkable Tree, please bring it to our attention! Nomination forms are available by following the link to the News from the EAC webpage and at the Borough Office. https://www.franklinparkborough.us/1434/News-from-the-EAC Winner will be awarded a $100 gift certificate to Soergel Orchards.
