Hellertown Needs Help Planting Trees

Hellertown Borough and the Saucon Creek Watershed Association need volunteers to help plant hundreds of trees and shrubs at Tuminello Park as part of a conservation project.

The work begins Friday, and it will continue throughout September until all the plantings are done.

Volunteers are needed on weekends and weekdays to plant the trees and shrubs at the park on Main Street (Route 412) at the south end of town, next to Neighbor’s Nursery. 

A project supervisor will be onsite each day to guide and assist in correctly planting the trees and shrubs.

A limited numbers of shovels are available, so please bring a shovel if you have one. Also, please bring work gloves and water and wear appropriate work clothes and footwear. 

Also, the borough advises to consider bringing a snack or lunch, depending on how long you plan to volunteer each day.

For more information or to confirm your volunteer time, call Jim Wilson at 484-239-9977 or send email to james-wilson@northamptoncd.org.
