JEANNETTE, Pa. — West Penn Power is celebrating Earth Day by handing out dogwood saplings in Westmoreland County.
The power company’s green team will hand out 300 white flowering dogwood saplings at the Jeannette Community Gardens on Friday starting at 9 a.m. While at the gardens, the green team will add topsoil and compost to 20 raised beds for the upcoming growing season.
West Penn Power says dogwoods are a low-growing species native to Pennsylvania that don’t interfere with overhead electric lines. They say giving away these trees is part of FirstEnergy’s commitment to the environment in the communities it serves.
