New Fitness Center combined with our tax policies, unparalleled access to the regional transportation network (road, rail, and trail), and with direct access to Route 202, the PA Turnpike, and Route 422, Life Time made the decision to call us home.

The nearly 200,000-square-foot facility features everything in the realms of healthy living, healthy aging, and healthy entertainment. The three-story building includes an indoor aquatic center, two basketball courts, four squash courts with a viewing and bar

area, a third-floor Alpha functional and strength training space, and outdoor deck area. In addition to the building, the outdoor area features leisure, lap and whirlpools, water slides, and an outdoor bistro.

Matthew Baumann Director of Planning & Zoning/ Assistant Township Manager

The Life Time Athletic Center held its grand opening/preview ceremony on June 8th at its location at 750 East Swedesford Road. The facility will be open seven days a week from 4 AM to Midnight. The Board of Supervisors, along with the Planning Commission and staff, are very excited that Life Time chose Tredyffrin Township to construct their state-of-the-art health club. We realize there are many locations Life Time could have chosen to build. But,

Inspections And Permits Services Allow me start by saying that generally, I'm a pretty calm and level headed guy, which is fortunate as a Building Code Inspector when listening to all construction view points and, at times, extreme variations to building codes which I regularly reference as I make my way through my days. However, there is something that really throws me for a loop every time when I have to fail an inspection and am told, "But I have been doing it this way for 30 years;" or, "They didn't make me do that in the other Townships." Sometimes I think, "If I had a dollar for every time I heard that!" My response to the first, respectfully, is, "I'm sorry, but you must have been doing it incorrectly for 30 years." The code hasn't changed much since then. Then, after swallowing hard, my response to the second isâ€Ślet's just say I don't have a response to the second.

Michael V. Pilotti, Senior Building Inspector/Code Officer

Now, seeing the forest for the trees, I am convinced that the real genius is the benefit on the back-end of the process. That is, the value placed on our communities when buildings, systems, and infrastructures are built consistent to a minimum standard. This allows all of us to sleep a little better at night. Question: Have you hugged your Inspector today?

The point I am trying to make is to explain why the Township's Building Permit Program is so important. I believe wholeheartedly that by the sincere concern of our state legislators and the passing of the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code, all construction performed on residential dwellings, malls, where we congregate, and where we make our livings are inspected to a minimum standard, every time we have work performed on or in them. A building permit is just a vehicle that triggers the initial design approvals which then allows for a structured inspection process. The associated permit fee is always proportional to the size and scope of the project. These fees cover many aspects from a Permit Clerk's initial intake and processing through the review, and then precise correspondence towards final approval of the proposed work. Once permits are issued, that document then serves as a contract or agreement between the applicant and the inspector that the proposed work will be performed in a professional manner and completed consistent with the codes by which it was approved. The amount of residential inspections can reach as high as 10 or 12 for a single project. Again, based on the size and scope of the work, while commercial projects vary, can accumulate 3 to 4 times as many inspections. These may include concrete foundations, wood or metal framing, energy and insulation, roofs, heating and air conditioning, plumbing, sewer and water, security and fire alarm systems, and, finally, sprinklers and fire suppression. Once all the work has been completed and approved, final reports may be required for the records for verification and to ensure proper performance, if necessary.

With modern technology, the use of car patrols with CB radios in Town Watch programs has become outdated. Accordingly, we have established three divisions of the Tredyffrin Township Town Watch program, of which one might be right up your alley.

Neighborhood Watch

While going about a normal daily routine, this group remains observant to what happens in their neighborhoods and commercial areas and dials 911 if they see something out of the ordinary.

Trail Watch

This group includes walkers and bikers. As a member of Trail Watch, you wear an identifying garment which acts as a deterrent and you call 911 if you see unusual activity or an emergency.

Dog Walkers Watch

This group of regular dog walkers has the option of wearing an identifying garment (also as a deterrent) and acts as observers on their normal dog walking route. Who is better to observe the neighborhood than those who are out there every day? There is specific protocol for each division to be learned and followed by members. Apply by visiting the Township website under the Services/Police/Documents and Forms. Under Police Documents, you will see the Town Watch Application. Print, complete, and send the application to: Tredyffrin Town Watch Association 1100 Duportail Road Berwyn, PA 19312 For additional information, contact Tredyffrintownwatch@aol.com

TMACC's 7th Annual Bike To Work Challenge The Transportation Management Association of Chester County (TMACC) sponsored their most competitive challenge of the year on Friday, May 19, 2017! Each year, to celebrate National Bike to Work Day, TMACC hosts a fun 4mile ride on the Chester Valley Trail. The challenge for the rider is to bring out was many co-workers as possible from each company to show a commitment to biking to work and, more importantly, win the coveted "Bike Horns Trophy." There were two beginning locations on the Chester Valley Trail: the Westlakes Trailhead and the Exton Park Trailhead. Riders embarked on a fun 4-mile ride that started at 7:40 AM and met in the middle for a light breakfast and awards ceremony. While the Tredyffrin Township riders didn't win the trophy, they did enjoy a bike ride along the trail and the camaraderie of co-workers and fellow bike enthusiasts.

13th Annual Historic House Tour Saturday, September 23 "Our Future Lies in Preserving Our Past" If you love history and architecture, you will not want to miss the much-anticipated 13 Annual Historic House Tour on Saturday, September 23. The annual historic house tour is a signature event for Tredyffrin Historic Preservation Trust (the Trust), a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving, protecting and educating the community about local historic and cultural resources. The house tour provides a rare opportunity for visitors to go inside the private houses and gardens of some of our area's most beautiful historic homes. As the tour enters its thirteenth year, it continues as an important community event and the Trust's largest annual fundraiser. Through ticket sales and sponsorships, the 2016 house tour raised over $20,000 for historic preservation and the completion of the Living History Center at Duportail in Chesterbrook. The house tour celebrates the history, architecture and design of local historic homes; each with its own unique personality and engaging story about its past. The 13th Annual Historic House Tour will feature an interesting selection of privately owned historic homes in Tredyffrin and Easttown

Townships. Tour visitors will discover the beauty of historic preservation and marvel at how homeowners have skillfully adapted the buildings to 21st century family homes. "We are excited about our thirteenth historic house tour", commented Pattye Benson, Trust President and Chair of the house tour since its inception. "As we do each year, stops on the Trust's 2017 house tour will include historic homes not featured in previous years. The historic house tour offers something for everyone. If walls could talk, what stories they would tell! There's architecture, history, home remodeling, interior decorating, gardening, and more. Through the sharing of their homes, the historic homeowners allow us to better understand the significant and unique history of the buildings that make our area distinctive and beautiful. And most importantly, ticket sales and tour sponsorships provide a tangible way for residents to show their support of our local history and its preservation."

The tour's historic properties and gardens will be open from 12-5 PM on Saturday, September 23, rain or shine. Tredyffrin Library (located at 582 Upper Gulph Road, Strafford) will be the featured ticket pick-up location. House tour admission includes individual house history booklets with a map and parking details. Self-guided, tour the properties at your own pace in any order. Homes are staffed with docents to enlighten you on the rich history of each property. The pre-tour cocktail party 'Party for Preservation' on Sunday, September 17 from 6-9 PM at historic Duportail House in Chesterbrook will celebrate the homeowners and the homes featured on this year's tour and serves to thank the generous individual and corporate sponsors who make the annual house tour possible. The evening of fun will include a sneak preview of the beautiful historic homes featured on the 2017 house tour.

One Old Barn Helps Another Old Barn... Repurposing Historic Materials from the Fritz Barn to Complete the Jones Log Barn The Jones Log Barn (circa 1730) was one of the oldest, intact log barns in the MidAtlantic region. Its rare architecture and unique history made it eligible for the National Register of Historic Places and it was certified as a Chester County Historic Resource in 2004. The Jones Log Barn is unique, not only for its age and its contributions to Pennsylvania history, but also for its architecture.

Due to benign neglect, the deteriorating barn posed a liability to its owner at its original location in Berwyn. The Tredyffrin Historic Preservation Trust, a registered 501c organization, dismantled the barn and stored the historic logs and other barn materials in Valley Forge National Historic Park, while funds were raised for its rebuilding.

which included architectural drawings, stone foundation walls, stormwater management, and grading, etc. Through the generosity of many individuals, local companies, and another historic barn, the final phase to complete the Jones Log Barn is now underway.

The reconstruction of the Jones Log Barn is on the site of an earlier barn and joins General Duportail's Quarters and the Federal Barn, both listed on the National Register of Historic Places, on Adams Drive in Chesterbrook. In 2010, the Trust completed the first phase of the rebuilding project,

Local real estate company Eadeh Enterprises purchased the 153 year old Fritz Lumber Yard in Berwyn with plans for a creative, adaptive reuse project that strikes a balance between honoring the past and bringing shopping, housing and business back into its town center. Although the "red barn" located on the Fritz Lumber Yard property was not part of the Berwyn redevelopment project, much of the old building materials will be repurposed. Through the generous support of Stacey Ballard and the Eadeh family, the Trust was gifted with the old red barn from the lumber yard for use in the reconstruction of the Jones Log Barn. John High, owner of the Barnsaver of Lancaster County, took extreme care in the deconstruction of the historic Fritz Barn to salvage materials for the completion of the Jones Log Barn. Utilizing the building materials from the Fritz Barn gives new life to the century-old building and allows the Trust to save money, conserve resources, and

One Old Barn Helps Another Old Barn... Sunday afternoons and other times by arrangement. Working with the Board of Duportail House, the Jones Log Barn will follow the limited opening schedule of the other buildings on the property and be available to the public on Sunday afternoons. All other visitation to the Jones Log Barn will be reviewed and scheduled by appointment.

rebuild the Jones Log Barn at a lower cost than by using new materials. The red barn and the Fritz family legacy will live on in the Jones Log Barn. Experienced barn builder Scott Walker of Axe Handle Timber is completing the final phase of the reconstruction of the Jones Log Barn, which includes building the log structure on the barn and adding a roof, doors and siding. Walker will use the remaining original barn logs stored in Valley Forge National Historic Park, the repurposed historic materials from the Fritz Barn, and new logs where required, to complete the Jones Log Barn. The three buildings - the Jones Log Barn, Duportail House, and the Federal Barn, will be known as the "Living History Center at Duportail". Duportail House and the Federal Barn are currently open to the public on

The Jones Log Barn will feature evolving exhibits, such as the early history of Tredyffrin Township, the Township's role in the American Revolutionary War, the honoring of the Township's veterans, and Chester County barn construction. The Trust plans to honor Eadeh Enterprises, the Fritz family and the Fritz Lumber Yard history in the inaugural exhibit of the Living History Center at Duportail.

increased by 6.3%, totaling 366,040; and our number of program offerings totaled 1,235, an increase 27% while program attendance totaled 22,935, an increase of 16%. Last year was, in fact, an historic year for Tredyffrin Library and an exceptional year for library use for both libraries. I hoped that 2016's success would carry over into 2017, and I'm pleased to report that this trend in library use has, in fact, continued in 2017. At the date of this writing, our visitor count has increased 3.7% and our circulation has increased by 2.2% compared to the same time period in 2016. Our program offerings, while being slightly fewer than what we offered in 2016, have been refined and, as a result, attendance totals have remained close to 2016's numbers.

Last year, Tredyffrin Library celebrated its 50th anniversary as the first public library in Tredyffrin Township, as well as the 40th anniversary in the Romaldo Giurgola & Ehrman Mitchell (Mitchell/Giurgola Architects, LLP) historic building that has served as the library's home in Strafford Park. We held a number of contests and events throughout the year, two of which were "Party in the Park" in September and participation in the Tredyffrin Historic Preservation Trust's 12th Annual Historic House Tour in October. As we were celebrating these milestones, we also saw an increase in overall use of the library. Library visits increased 5.4% totaling 222,805; circulation of library materials

Tredyffrin Township

This success is made possible by the dedicated staff, who go above and beyond expectations to engage with our visitors and create new opportunities for the community; the support of our many volunteers, including the Friends of Tredyffrin Library and the Friends of Paoli Library; and of course the support, dedication, and patronage of a community that values education, social interaction for all ages, and lifelong learning. Thank you for helping us celebrate a truly historic 2016 and for your continued support of Tredyffrin Township Libraries in 2017.

A Special Gift to the Tredyffrin Township Library Foundation

BRE K OUT! at TREDYFFRIN PUBLIC LIBRARY

Break Out at Tredyffrin Public Library

Can you break out? We will be offering a fun game for children ages 8 - 12 at Tredyffrin Public Library this fall. Break Out is a lifesized game of twists and turns where players work collaboratively to solve a series of critical thinking puzzles in order to open a locked box. You must explore your surroundings, uncover clues, solve puzzles, and work as a team to earn your freedom, unlock the box, and break out. You will be in a room full of puzzles and challenges. And you will have to work with others in your group to solve them. This "escape the room" is appropriate for children ages 8 - 12. There will be an adult in the room the entire time and no one will be locked in. Break Out activities are inspired by "escapethe-room"style video games. Escape rooms became popular in the United States in the 2010s. Stay tuned for dates for our Break Out Program at the Library.

Everyday Heroes contributions to the lives of all those in the greater Tredyffrin and Easttown communities. The purpose of our celebration is to demonstrate the wide array of people and groups responsible for making our community such a special place.

Tredyffrin & Easttown Care is an allvolunteer, local non-profit that lends assistance to families in and around our communities who are struggling in some way. To raise the funds needed to offer this assistance, we hold an annual dinner/auction event. At this year’s annual Fall Fest fundraiser (on November 11, Veteran’s Day) we will be recognizing and celebrating those people who are Everyday Heroes. Everyday Heroes are those individuals or groups who, through their past or ongoing actions and leadership, make positive

We are asking for your help in identifying Everyday Heroes in our community. These heroes will be included in materials presented at the Fall Fest, but will not be called upon to make a speech or accept any individual memento. They don’t even need to be in attendance at the event (although we’d love everyone to be there!). As we all know – a “hero” is in the eye of the beholder, and no one hero is more important than any other hero when thinking about the good of the entire community. Please let us know who your Everyday Heroes are so we can properly salute them at our November 11 event. In making this submission, we would appreciate: • Your name • Your hero’s name (if you are submitting a group, then just include the generic or specific name of the group) • Your relationship to this person/group • One sentence why this person/group is your hero.

• If you have a picture of your hero – feel free to attach it Please note: We will not be separately contacting your Everyday Hero prior to the event. If you choose to let him/her/them know about this submission – that’s totally up to you. Send submissions to us at hero@tecare.org. Even though all submissions need to be made no later than October 15, it’s not too early to send yours now. The sooner we can begin to gather the names, the better off we’ll be!

www.tecare.org Fall Fest chairs, Melissa Acton and MJ Chiles say, "This is just a small way to honor the heroes in our lives. If a person has made a difference in your life, then he/she is worth recognizing. Whether it's the bus driver that waits that extra minute for your child, a friend who delivers meals to the ill, or a veteran that has served our country - this is our opportunity to say, 'what you do matters.' It only takes one person to be the difference in a life and be a hero. "

Fall 2017 Newsletter

Emerald Ash Borer Threatens Ash Trees In Tredyffrin On the morning of June 24, 2017, twelve volunteers dispersed from the west parking lot of Teegarden Park armed with clip boards, tape measures, flagging tape, and guidelines on how to recognize ash trees and signs of infestation by the emerald ash borer (EAB). This alien insect has been killing ash trees in the eastern U.S. since it was first discovered in Michigan in 2002. On May 31, EAB damage to trees was confirmed, not just in Chester County, but in Tredyffrin Township along the Chester Valley Trail. The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) describes the EAB adult as a metallic green beetle about half an inch long. The larvae feed under the bark of ash trees; when they leave the tree as adults they exit through a D-shaped hole. The hole may be hard to see, but woodpeckers hunting for the larvae may leave larger holes or even strip the bark in large patches, leaving damage that is more visible. Close to 100% of infested trees will die within 3-5 years of infestation. Tree death is first noticeable in the crown. Sometimes an infested tree will respond to crown death by sprouting new shoots about midway up the trunk. The DCNR estimates that in Pennsylvania, 308 million trees of five ash species are at risk. You can learn more by visiting www.dcnr.state.pa.us/forestry/ insectsdisease/eab/index.htm. Following guidelines set by the DCNR, the Tredyffrin Environmental Advisory Council and Parks and Recreation Board are working together to develop a strategy for the Township regarding EAB. The first step, inventorying ash trees in the Township's parks, where a dead tree might be a danger to the public, was the task of the volunteers on June 24. The group began the inventory of trees on that Saturday. Over the next week, the count was completed, along with notes about the health of the trees and any signs of EAB infestation.

Now that the count of trees in our parks is known, the Township will decide which trees must be removed and which should be treated in hopes of saving them. Trees that are small, or that are not where they pose a risk to lives or property, will probably not be treated or removed. What can you do to save your ash trees? According to the DCNR, communities within 20 miles of known EAB infestation have about a year in which to develop a management plan if they hope to save any trees. Homeowners should start now to examine their own trees and decide on a management plan for their property. Pesticide treatment is possible; the cost of treatment by a certified arborist will depend on the size of the tree, and it will need to be continued for a number of years to be successful. An alternative is to pre-emptively have trees cut down if they will pose a hazard to people or property. Again, an arborist will have to advise on the cost of this measure. Live trees are much easier and safer to remove than dead ones, which become brittle once the beetles have killed them.

Photo by Jim McLaughlin This majestic ash tree, in Woodbine Park off W. Central Avenue in Paoli, was one of the trees surveyed on June 24. This and all other ash trees found in the parks were marked with bright orange tape so Township officials can find them easily and know they were included in the survey. This tree seems to be healthy.

Not sure whether you have ash trees? The EAC can help with identification. Contact us at tredyffrin@tredyffrin.org and include Environmental Advisory Council in the Subject line. You can learn more about identifying ash trees, emerald ash borer, and the pesticides used to control the EAB at the Purdue Extension by visiting: https://extension.entm.purdue.edu/EAB/index. php?page=ident/ident.

New Invasive Insect in PA

The egg masses have 48-50 eggs within and are covered with a grey/brown substance that looks very much like mud or dirt, see the picture below. The females will lay the eggs on any hard surface such as motor vehicles, stones, barrels, posts, grills, wood, etc. They do not lay their eggs on grass clippings or leaves. If you find egg masses, please scrape them off. To scrape them use a scraper, large stick, etc. and scrape in a downward motion. You can then place them in a plastic bag with alcohol or hand sanitizer and dispose of them in the trash.

We appreciate your time and efforts in making sure we do not move this insect out of quarantine areas. For more information please go to: www.agriculture.pa.gov/spotted lanternfly

The adult beetles nibble on ash foliage but cause little damage. The larvae (the immature stage) feed on the inner bark of ash trees, disrupting the tree's ability to transport water and nutrients.

The insect is very distinctive and does not look like other insects in Pennsylvania. It has spotted wings with red tips. The body has a black and yellow winged section. Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture is currently working with Penn State Extension and Researchers, as well as DCNR, Kutztown University, Fish and Game Commission, USDA and local municipalities to learn more about this new insect and how to control it. Currently the efforts are for eradication. The Department feels with the assistance of the community and others we can stop this invasive pest.

This insect is known to feed on over 25 species of trees, shrubs and vines. Some of these include: Grape, Birch, Willow, Poplar, and Maple. The insect also likes to go to the Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus sp.). In Korea, this insect is an invasive pest and has been documented in killing grape vines.

Door Etiquette for Dogs Autumn is almost upon us! Football parties, Halloween and holidays are quickly approaching and if your dog has any habits that may be problematic or bothersome, now is the time to work on them! With all of the fun fall events, it is important to keep your furry family member in mind for their comfort and safety.

dog could do when they hear someone at the door. One option is to send your dog to their crate or their bed at the sound of a

You should follow and reward your dog still and even potentially close the door or give a "stay" cue, allowing you to answer the door as needed without a dog overreacting at your entranceway. You have now changed the meaning of the doorbell for your dog and ended the problematic behavior of poor door etiquette. You can greet your guests and continue on with your plans without worrying about an overprotective dog, escaping dog, etc.

Many dogs have learned to overreact to the sound of a doorbell or door knock, leading to uncomfortable door greetings and potential escapes. This behavior can be problematic if you plan to have friends and family visit for a party or meal. It adds an extra layer of stress to what should be an enjoyable evening. Rude door behavior, such as barking or lunging at the door when people visit, is extremely common and a highly reinforced behavior. From the dog's point of view, every time a delivery man or mailman approaches your door, they are a possible intruder and require immediate attention. Your dog does not realize that those individuals were scheduled to leave regardless of your dog's reaction. In their mind, they have just saved you from a potential threat because the person does leave while your pet is throwing a fit or behaving poorly. Thus the behavior is reinforced. While you probably can't ask every person coming to your home to act as a training tool (people have places to go and things to do after all), you can prepare your dog to behavior more appropriately when they hear the doorbell or knocker. You have probably already taught your dog a variety of verbal cues without you even realizing that you have. Remember that your dog does not naturally speak English, but they have learned by association that "sit" means putting their bottom on the floor. They have also learned associations that you have not explicitly taught them, such as the doorbell brings potential intruders to protect you from or friends to jump on and greet. It is your job to use the doorbell as a cue for a different behavior. Just as your dog has associated various words with specific behaviors, they are able to associate the sound of the door with a certain behavior. There are plenty of options for what your 24

doorbell (you can substitute a knock if that fits your home better). The easiest way to begin training would be with two people: one to ring the bell and the other to train the dog. Start by having one person outside by the door and one person ready with treats or another high value reward (cheese, pieces of hot dog are great rewards!). Person A will ring the bell followed immediately by Person B running over to the predetermined location, such as a crate, and toss in a tasty treat. Person B should not say anything, as you want your dog to associate the bell with a location based on the reward -- not a word with the location. Your dog will probably still bark and get worked up by the door, but unlike past experiences, no one is going to come in or respond. After a few moments your dog will probably get mildly confused or bored and come see what Person B is doing. That's when they will find their tasty reward. Person B can give them a few more rewards for hanging out in their crate then release them.

If you do not have a helper to ring the bell for you, consider scheduling a regular training party in the guise of football or movie night. You can invite a few friends over for a football game or movie (make sure it is airing on TV so that you have regular commercial breaks) and use them to help you train your dog. Of course, you can pay them in the form of food and drinks. Football games and movies that are airing on TV have fairly regular commercial breaks that you can use as training trials. Simply ask all of your friends to walk outside at the start of a commercial break and have them each ring the bell for you while you train following the directions above. You can act as Person B and have your friends ring the bell while you reward your dog at the appropriate location. As an added bonus, your friends can walk over and greet or feed your dog, as well. This allows extra rewarding for your dog and it's away from the door! Fall is a great time to begin working with your dog on indoor etiquette. Summer warmth is fading and many social activities begin to move inside, so it is important to ensure that your dog is as happy to have visitors as you are! Happy Training!

Repeat this game of Person A ringing the bell and Person B rewarding the dog for going into their crate. Do this routine a few times a day until your dog is sprinting to their crate at the sound of the bell. Now you can start to wean out the treat that is waiting in the crate and only reward your

PA Leads Nation in Lyme Disease Cases Learn to Protect Yourself and Your Family Pennsylvania has led the nation in confirmed cases of Lyme disease for three straight years. The disease is a bacterial infection that affects people of all ages and any organ of the body. It's called "the great imitator" because its symptoms mimic many other diseases. Most people get Lyme disease from the bite of an immature tick about the size of a poppy seed. Because they are so tiny and their bite is painless, many people do not even realize they have been bitten. In the early stages, Lyme disease may feel like the flu, with the person experiencing fever, sore muscles, headache, and fatigue.

Keeping Our Community Clean Litter can drastically affect our environment. It pollutes groundwater, clogs stormwater drains and creates driving hazards. If we all chip in, we can keep our community clean and safe. After all, while the litter may not be ours, the planet is. Here are some ways to help: Set an example by not littering Pick up one piece of litter every day

Carry a litter bag in your car Make sure your trash that's out for pickup can't be blown around Also, remember that picking up your pet's waste is not only the neighborly thing to do, it is required by Township ordinance. Pet waste can cause illness and disease in other animals and humans. It has a negative impact on everyone's quality of life. Thank you for being a good citizen and responsible pet owner!

The Centers for Disease Control reports that rashes occur in 60 to 80 percent of cases. Most of the time, the rash is an ordinary red area. A distinctive "bull's-eye" shape rash with a darker edge is a definite sign of Lyme disease but only occurs in less than 10 percent of those who contract Lyme disease. When you're outdoors, take the following precautions: Know where ticks live - Ticks tend to be near the ground, in leaf litter, grasses, bushes, and fallen logs. High-risk activities include playing in leaves, gathering firewood, and leaning against tree trunks. When you hike, stay on cleared trails, instead of walking across grassy fields. Dress defensively - Wear shoes, socks, long pants, and long sleeves. Tie back long hair and wear a hat. You can purchase clothing pretreated with the repellent permethrin or treat your own clothing and shoes. Use repellent on exposed skin - Studies show that repellents with DEET, picaridin, or lemon eucalyptus oil are the most effective. Check for ticks - Periodically inspect your clothing and skin for ticks. Take a shower - Once home, take a shower right away. This will wash away unattached ticks and allow you to thoroughly inspect yourself. Feel for bumps that might be embedded ticks. Pay careful attention to hidden places, including groin, armpits, backs of knees, belly button, and scalp. Parents should check their children. Put your clothes in the dryer - Running your clothes in a hot dryer for 10 minutes before you wash them will kill any ticks that may be there. Protect your pets - Dog and cat fur can carry ticks inside your home. Consult with your veterinarian about tick protection for your pets.

Native Plants

Native Plantings Support Healthy Habitat Changes to the landscape at the Arboretum are usually subtle and, yet, the landscape is an ever-changing palette. Beginning with a peek of new green buds in spring, the landscape shifts from spring's wildflowers to summer's ferns and onto the colorful hues of autumn leaves to the soft whites of winter. The changing patterns of light and shadow hint at each approaching new season. Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens is truly a "Garden for All Seasons".

While many botanical gardens feature more dazzling and beautifully colorful plantings, the Arboretum strives to be true to its mission and to protect a variety of natural habitats, supporting the biodiversity of native plant and animal species.

perennials, and wildflowers, that harmonize beautifully with the pond's habitat. When strolling by the garden, be sure to look for these plants, all of which are available for purchase in our Plant Shop for your home gardens: (see photos on following page)

Why grow and conserve native plants? Native plants, fondly called "natives," are defined as those plants that occur in the region in which they evolved or were present prior to the arrival of the Europeans. By growing native plants, Jenkins is restoring some of the natural biodiversity of this area. Many wildlife species are dependent on the habitat provided by native vegetation. These plantings can enhance the wildlife population of the area. For example, the Arboretum's existing stand of cattails down by the pond provides nesting for many redwinged blackbirds and is the ideal habitat for this.

1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6)

Natives possess traits that make them uniquely adapted to local conditions. Once established, these plants require less water than other plants - a trait that is becoming increasingly important for water conservation in this drought-stricken period. Pests and disease do not severely affect as many natives, resulting in less need for chemical controls. Fewer pesticides preserve biodiversity and reduce exposure to toxic substances to people and wildlife. Natives help to maintain soil fertility, reduce erosion, and require less fertilizer. The wildflower beds behind the pond in our gardens feature a wide range of shrubs,

Asclepias incarnata - Swamp Milkweed Asclepias tuberosa - Butterfly Weed Hibiscus moscheutos - Swamp Mallow Lobelia cardinalis - Red Cardinal Flower Rudbeckia maxima - Giant Coneflower Symphyotrichum laeve 'Bluebird' Smooth Aster 7) Symphyotrichum oblongifolium 'October Skies' - Aromatic Aster 8) Vernonia glauca - Upland Ironweed With their apparent desirable qualities, native plants are the "natural" choice for local landscaping. Planting with native plant species helps to preserve the native ecosystems of the area from losses caused by development. The native wildflower garden is both a model and an educational resource for maintaining a connection with the natural world through native plants. While visiting, look for your favorite beautiful native plants in our Plant Shop. The botanical gardens are open from 8 AM to sunset, 365 days a year. The Plant Shop is open from 9 AM - 4 PM from May through September, 7 days a week. Please consider supporting your local botanical garden by becoming a member and/or giving a gift!

Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens Trout Creek Watershed Restoration Over the past few decades, parts of the once ecologically-healthy land that surrounds the Arboretum have been significantly degraded. Nearby housing, roadways, and commercial development increased the volume, intensity, and frequency of stormwater runoff. Consequent erosion caused significant damage to the floodplain and stream bank along Trout Creek. In addition, man-made disturbances led to an increased presence of non-native, invasive plants which displaced more ecologically valuable native species. These invasive species dominated the floodplain and forest edges and openings for many years. As nearly all of the Arboretum's 48 acres drain into Trout Creek, the Arboretum developed a long-term, comprehensive watershed restoration plan to address these concerns. The plan involves reestablishing the ecological value of the property and, at the same time, mitigating storm water runoff and stream bank erosion. This plan has 11 major goals and guidelines: 1. All non-native, invasive trees and shrubs are to be removed.

value, particularly to birds, bees, butterflies, and other insects. 5. Understanding that it is a major component of a healthy ecosystem, we will work to increase species diversity of the Arboretum as a whole. In addition, if available, plants listed as rare, endangered, or threatened in Pennsylvania will be given priority over others. 6. Wherever applicable, we must consider species that colonize to help prevent stormwater damage and stream bank erosion. 7. Because Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens is a public garden, aesthetics is always important. Many of the characteristics that make plants attractive to wildlife (fruit, flowers, fragrance, etc.) are also aesthetically pleasing to humans. All planting design must take those characteristics into consideration. 8. As long as the above guidelines are followed, there are no restrictions for species selection within the deer exclusion fencing. Plantings outside the

fence however, must be deer resistant or tolerant, otherwise the plants will be caged until they are tall enough to be above the browse line. 9. In areas that receive relatively little care and no irrigation, soil amendments with mycorrhizae and a generous layer of hardwood wood chip mulch will be used to give the plants the best chance of survival. 10. As these are large projects and because we want to raise awareness for what we are doing as an organization, we will collaborate for completion of these projects with other community organizations such as the Boy Scouts. 11. During site preparation, including the invasive species removal, all woody debris will be left on site, but must be lopped and oriented transverse to slopes. This debris will further increase wildlife habitat, but will also intercept and reduce runoff and soil erosion, break down and return nutrients back to the soil, and act as a natural mulch to retain water for new plantings.

2. All species to be used for replanting must be carefully selected and appropriate for the conditions of each site. Each species' mature size, light requirement, moisture requirements, and soil requirements, including pH must be considered. 3. All plant selections used for replanting must be native to the eastern United States, preferably the Mid-Atlantic region. Whenever possible, plants of known local provenance should be used. 4. Plants selected for replanting should, as much as possible, have high wildlife

Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens Trout Creek Watershed Restoration The amount of work completed to date has been remarkable and all of this work fits into one of four work areas, or "projects," none of which are currently accessible for public visitation, but are obvious as you drive along Devon State Road or look out from the public garden.

1) Browning Hillside

The Browning Hillside, directly above Trout Creek, is a sloped, 2 plus-acre tract with significant water run-off from the residential community above. The consequent erosion affects not only the Arboretum property, but also Trout Creek. The hillside, which had been mowed grass, has been returned to a forested corridor that links the public garden to a section of Conservation Woodlands. Careful planning included a pathway which is surrounded by native plants suitable for bird, bee and butterfly habitat. Over 350 trees and shrubs of 61 different species and approximately 1000 pollinator-friendly herbaceous plants were planted by the Jenkins staff and the volunteers. The hillside is now fully planted with native plants which attract wildlife, control erosion, and add beauty to the Arboretum.

2) Conservation Woodlands

A roughly 2.5-acre section of Jenkins Conservation Woodlands, which includes the headwaters of Trout Creek was restored in fall of 2016. To do this, fifty invasive trees and large shrubs, some as tall as 50 feet, were removed. The invasive plants included Norway maple, burning bush and shrub honeysuckle. After clearing, the area was replanted with more ecologically valuable native species, many of which are currently caged to protect against deer browse. The staff of Jenkins Arboretum, its weekly volunteers, and volunteers from The Vanguard Group were instrumental in carrying out this project.

3) Devon State Road (east side)

This section of Jenkins Arboretum is about 700' long and extends 150' in from the road edge. After several invasive species removals with help from local Boy Scout troops, the Arboretum's staff replanted the area with more than 50 native trees and shrubs which will inhibit the reestablishment of those invasives. Additional site preparation will be done in 2017 and a substantial shrub-layer planting is being planned for spring of 2018.

4) Devon State Road (west side)

This is a section of the Arboretum that includes Trout Creek and parallels Devon State Road. It is roughly 1500' long and extends inward 150' in from the road edge. Due to runoff pressures from the macadam roadway, bank erosion has been severe. Invasive plants were removed and replanting was done with native plants appropriate to holding the stream bank. Specifically alders, willows, and sweetspire, have been planted. Jenkins' volunteers have propagated several thousand herbaceous plants with ornamental and wildlife value to help hold the bank. In addition to protecting and preserving the stream bank, this restoration beautifies a large area of roadfront. In total, the project took more than 6 years to complete. Three different local Boy Scouts completed their Eagle Scout project in this area by

helping to plant nearly 1,000 trees and shrubs of 64 different species. What started as a badly neglected area that was severely eroded and overgrown with invasive species is becoming a valuable habitat for birds, bees, and butterflies and will be crucial to mitigating further stream bank erosion. Protecting the watershed is a never-ending battle against the invasion of non-native species, however, Jenkins Arboretum will continue its efforts for the benefit of the environment. In recognition of these efforts, the Arboretum was given an Award of Merit at the Bowman's Hill Wildflower Society's Land Ethics Symposium this past spring. Though it is not the Land Ethics Award, the Award of Merit is a special designation, presented by the judges to the nominees that didn't get the award, but that they feel have exemplified the spirit of the Land Ethics Award. What a wonderful honor to be recognized.

Paper or Plastic - Those Pesky Plastic Bags What is the better choice - a paper or plastic bag? A reusable bag of course is the best choice. However, other bags also have their place.

were replaced with bought bags. Those bans were lifted at the time. Chester County grocery stores have collection containers at their entrances to collect and recycle plastic bags. Some bags might rip or have a hole in the bottom, making them unusable for home trash collection. Back to the grocery store entrance container is the place for them. But there are many other items to recycle in those containers you might not be aware of. You can also put in plastic newspaper sleeves, dry cleaning bags, bread bags, product wrap (used on paper towels, diapers, bathroom tissue, water bottles), food storage bags, produce bags, bubble wrap, LDPE/HDPE films and any film packaging or bag that has the How2Recycle Label shown. Please recycle only CLEAN and DRY bags and film and remove receipts or any other items. Never put plastic bags in your curbside recycling bin. A plastic bag at a recycling facility can jam expensive sorting equipment.

A few years ago, a couple of communities in California banned plastic shopping bags only to find out that the sale of plastic garbage bags and wastebaskets liners went up. They discovered that many people use the free plastic bags they get at the store for kitchen and bathroom trash collection, as well as diaper and pet waste cleanup. The free bags

Clean plastic bags mixed with sawdust will become plastic lumber - a deck, a dock, a fence, bench or even an attractive outdoor recycling container.

Each month nearly 40 activities are offered from Tai Chi to technology, from classical music appreciation to special events. "Surrey offers older adults numerous ways to stay active both physically and mentally," said Christi Seidel, Senior Director of Social Impact at Surrey. "Our physical fitness programs cover everything from weight training to Tai Chi, so there is something for everyone." Surrey offers evidence based programs such as chronic disease selfmanagement with proven results. Mental fitness is maintained and enhanced via lifelong learning from foreign language conversation groups and current event discussions to hands on technology classes and health education lectures. "Programs for older adults must be designed to offer fun and friendship while offering education," says Christi. "Older adults are an experienced and discerning audience who deserve and demand the very best."
