In 2017, Buena Vista Township will be celebrating its 150th Anniversary. I am reaching out to our citizens and companies that serve our community in hopes that you will help us achieve a special project that we are working on that is outlined in the paragraph below.
In the Richland Village section of our town, we have a giant white oak tree that reached the age of 235 years old. It died last year. It was a beautiful tree. We are making on effort to fund raise to make a carving out of the tree trunk and lower limbs featuring highlights of our Township’s 150 years in existence.
The tree is huge and we need the funds to hire a well-known chainsaw carver to make a permanent memorial out of this historic old tree located in the center of Saw Mill Park on Route 40. It will be lighted and capture the spirit of the fine tree it once was. There will be a semi-circle of young white oak trees that will grow behind the huge carved tree.
All funds raised will go directly to this project. I would truly appreciate any help you would consider. We are trying to start this project by October to be in time for 2017 Please make any donations payable to “BVT Special Events Committee, c/o P.O.
