The Princeton Borough Shade Tree Commission wants to track success rates of seedlings distributed over past decades at Communiversity, and to compile a list of robust specimens now thriving in the borough. If you’ve grown a tree from a free seedling, you are encouraged to visit the Commission’s newly revised website (www.pbshadetree.org), click “Contact” (upper left), then click Shade Tree Commission. If there are family stories, special events (graduations, weddings, honorees, etc., — including photos) associated with the planting of these new trees, you may elaborate under “Your Message.” The next distribution of seedlings will be on Saturday, April 30.
