Arbor Day Saplings at Playwicki and a Busy Weekend Ahead

Feasterville Trevose, PA · April 24, 2026

Happy Friday—if you’re heading toward Playwicki Farm today, you’ll see the new saplings going in for Arbor Day, just in time for a beautiful spring weekend.

📰 The Lead

Today marks the official launch of the township's "Green Canopy" initiative, a strategic effort to increase our local tree cover by 15% over the next decade. While Arbor Day is a national tradition, the work starting this morning at Playwicki Farm is specifically designed to address local stormwater runoff and provide better natural cooling along the more industrial stretches of our corridor. Volunteers and officials are gathering at 10:00 AM to plant twenty native oaks and maples, chosen for their resilience in Pennsylvania soil. For residents, this isn't just about aesthetics; the township is also launching a voucher program at noon today on their website, offering homeowners discounts on native trees to plant in their own yards. It’s a long-term investment in the neighborhood’s air quality and curb appeal that starts with a few shovels of dirt today.

📸 Spotlight & Story

  • The Buck Hotel While many know it as a premier spot for weddings and Friday night dinners, The Buck Hotel has stood as a landmark at the intersection of Bustleton and Bridgetown since 1735. It originally served as a vital stagecoach stop for travelers moving between Philadelphia and New York. Today, it remains one of the oldest continuously operating businesses in the county, successfully blending its colonial stone roots with a modern ballroom that keeps our local social calendar full.
