The Oak tree is the national tree of the United States and in honor of the Country’s 250 year semi quincentennial, The Village of Munsey Park has planted two new Oak Tree saplings in Copley Pond Park, marking a commitment to preserve the park’s natural beauty and its tree canopy for future generations to enjoy. Some fun facts of the Oak tree:
• They can live for over 1,000 years
• Acorns are not produced until they reach 20 to 50 years of age
• One about one in 10,000 acorns actually grow into a new tree
• They support more life forms than any other native tree genus in North America
The plantings are part of the Village’s ongoing beautification effort, which includes replenishing aging street trees and enhancing Village parks. Additional plantings are planned for next Spring. Village residents who are interested in donating or accepting a Village right-of-way tree should contact Munsey Park Village Hall.
