Educational Lectures
Our mission includes educating and engaging the public on environmental stewardship, conservation and sustainable landscapes. To this end we sponsor an Educational Lecture Series for our community.
September 24, 2006: Choosing the right tree is one of the smartest investments you can make for your landscape. During this presentation, discover the best trees for beauty, shade, wildlife habitat, and long-term success. Whether planting a single specimen tree or designing a larger landscape, participants will learn how to select trees that thrive in our region, enhance property value, support pollinators and wildlife, and provide lasting environmental benefits. The program will offer practical guidance to help homeowners make informed planting decisions for healthier, more resilient landscapes.
Dominic Zimmaro of Bartlett Tree Experts serves as an Arborist Representative and is supported by the diagnostic resources of the Bartlett Tree Research Laboratories. He enjoys helping clients make informed decisions to maintain the health of their trees and shrubs while achieving their landscape goals.
Mr. Zimmaro also serves on Bucks Beautiful’s Board of Directors, where he chairs the RePlant Bucks Committee, helping expand tree canopy and promote environmental stewardship throughout Bucks County.
Thank you to our educational co-sponsors Mike Feeney of Feeney’s Wholesale Nursery and the Doylestown Village Improvement Association.

We do this in various ways, such as sponsoring wildflower meadows, sensory gardens and Bulbs for Bucks daffodil plantings on school grounds; peaceful plantings for outdoor classrooms; coordinating a planting project at Buckingham Township’s wetlands; hosting native tree plantings events; and engaging with schools to provide opportunities to learn about gardening.
