New at Society Hill
Grounds Program Continues;
Organic Lawn Program Adopted
The Board has engaged expert Mike McGrath to assist in planning a further transition to organic lawn maintenance methods. As a result, organic standards have been adopted for implementation starting this fall. Read the whole story here.
Activity last winter included removal of dead trees and cleanup work. With the arrival of spring, the Board of Trustees authorized another round of improvements including more tree removal and replacements, additional groundcover treatments in areas where grass was not succeeding, and dozens of new ornamental plants and shrubs.
Currently the fall tree and shrub effort is being planned, with work expected to start in September.
Seen below is recent work removing problematic pear trees, which will be replaced with attractive new plantings. Major grass work will take place in the fall, taking advantage of favorable seasonal patterns.

Lawrence-Hopewell Trail connection to Mercer Park Northwest
A new pathway connecting Village Park with Mercer County Park Northwest is now open. This allows Society Hill walkers easy access to this growing trail. For more on the trail, go here. See a map of the full planned trail.
 The connector is seen at right, with bridge over wetland area. Construction featured porous blacktop and mulch to meet wetland requirements. It may be accessed from the head of Gordon Avenue, near the Village Park parking lot. See our map location here, where it is represented with a dotted line extending to Keefe Road.
