Elms on Elm

YOUNGSTOWN

What type of trees were planted on the Elm Street portion of Wick Park? Elm trees, of course.

To be more specific, about a dozen members of Treez Please planted three New Harmony elm trees Saturday on the Elm Street devil strip between Broadway and Park Avenue, across the street from First Unitarian Church.

Treez Please is a community organization focused on increasing the amount of green space in the city.

With these three, Treez Please members have planted 61 trees throughout the city this year.

“We want to make the city more beautiful and aesthetically pleasing by planting trees,” said Marilyn Norconk, the organization’s treasurer.
