Giroud Arbor Day Fair at Pennypack Trust Celebrates Trees with Rides, Crafts and Preservation

With Arbor Day fast approaching, Giroud Tree and Lawn and Pennypack Ecological Restoration Trust joined together for an Arbor Day Fair on April 17th to celebrate and preserve trees.




The Pennypack Preserve came alive with children, parents and other nature seekers ready to have fun and learn about trees in a whole new way. Rope climb and saddle rides, nature themed crafts, and aerial lift rides were were among the popular attractions.




The Fair culminated with Giroud's donation of $1,000 in free tree care to preserve a giant European Beech located in Pennypack's parking area. Nearly 75 years old, the Beech suffered from a large crack in its trunk and posed a safety hazard to visitors and cars. Visitors watched as Mike Teti, Giroud Trainer and Champion Climber, thinned the crown, installed two cables and inserted a bolt to brace the trunk. These supports will make the tree safe and prevent it from splitting apart in high winds and heavy snows.




Giroud and Pennypack Trust hope to make the Arbor Day Fair an annual event to raise awareness about the importance of trees in our landscapes and encourage more people to enjoy the Pennypack Preserve, a beautiful resource that is right in our backyard. Giroud Tree and Lawn's sponsorship of the event is part of the Giroud Treework for Charity Program established in 1997 to help local non-profits preserve their irreplaceable trees.
