There are many beautiful, healthy native trees in Little Crum Creek Park.
Planting, maintaining, and labeling the native trees in the park is an ongoing project of the Friends of Little Crum Creek Park.
Native trees provide many ecological benefits, including conserving water, preventing soil erosion, and providing habitat and food for many different species such as birds, pollinators, and small mammals. Trees are also beautiful, easy to grow, and require minimal maintenance.
