Main Street project in Phase 1

The Tree Advisory Board of the Village of Cold Spring plans to plant two pink flowering Kwanzan Cherry trees and install painted steel tree pit guards, permeable grass pavers and garden plantings in a 50-foot run adjacent to 93 to 91 Main Street and Village Hall as the first phase of the Main Street Beautification Project. The trees will be planted in the fall and the guards and landscaping completed once fundraising is finished.

A number of existing trees also will be fitted with tree guards. To sponsor a guard (plaques are available) or make a donation, email [email protected].
