The trees to be planted include six Armstrong Maple trees and five Kwanzan Cherry trees. They will fill wells that housed trees cut down about five years ago due to disease.

The tree planting is part of the City’s sustainability program, with 50 empty tree wells due to receive greenery.
After thanking the City “for the opportunity to plant these trees in honor of my mother,” Chappy Manzer added, “In the past decade we have lost a lot of trees, and as our climate continues to change, it is important that we plant trees to improve our environment, while also beautifying the City of Peekskill.”
