At this month's Horsham Township Council meeting, Horsham Township officials welcomed Archewild, a local company that will be planting hundreds of new trees in local parks as part of two major reforestation projects.
Two of those undertakings include:
Cedar Hill Park – 205 container trees and 26 ball-and-burlap trees will be planted throughout the park.
Deep Meadow Park – Following completion of the Miracle Field project, 50 ball-and-burlap trees will be added: 20 in one section, 30 in another.
Horsham has taken a proactive approach to sustainability, steadily implementing green initiatives that reduce environmental impact, improve community health, and serve as a model for surrounding municipalities.
These efforts build on the recent planting of 273 trees across the community:
Lukens Park – 171 trees
Horsham Library – 42 trees
Hearne Property – 60 trees
Additionally, over the past two years, the Township has distributed hundreds of trees to residents during its annual EcoVENT event.
These plantings are part of a broader environmental vision. During the Council meeting, Township Manager Bill Gildea-Walker delivered a compelling presentation showcasing Horsham’s long-standing commitment to sustainability, an approach that has positioned the Township as a leader in environmental stewardship throughout Montgomery County.
While the Township continues to invest in development and infrastructure, it remains equally focused on preserving open space, protecting natural resources, and ensuring a healthier environment for future generations.

About Archewild
The company focuses on native plant supply and ecological restoration, with its foundation being in native plants. The company founded its plant nursery in 2010 to supply regional and national organizations with ecotyped native plants that were hard to find or not in production anywhere else. It is one of the first, true restoration native plant nurseries, growing large quantities of ecoregion-specific, seed-grown plants for restoration clients.
As clients asked its founders to plant the species they grow and provide species recommendations, they launched its ecological restoration team. It specialize in medium- to large-sized reforestation, wildlife habitat, wetland, meadow, and invasive management programs. Their farm services team helps new and longtime farmers incorporate native plants into their revenue and operational plans.
