Cedar Street, Mt. Holly Springs
“It all started with one phone call asking for a story about the old church on Cedar Street. This call and the resulting stories from the Gumby Family led to an overwhelming turnout of neighbors and volunteers. It all started with a phone call and the Ward/Smith family found the grave of their grandfather/great-grandfather. Mt. Tabor Preservation Project has grown out of those first phone calls. The Preservation believes the church and cemetery are an important piece of history and the goal is to ensure that both are on course to be recognized and maintained.” Click here to view the project website.

The Scoop on Skunks
When left undisturbed, skunks are peaceful and provide
insect and rodent control. In most situations, skunks are more beneficial than problematic.
Have a problem? Consider this:
Skunks are active at night, so the night is a good time to close off entrances to dens.
Skunk odor near your home is not necessarily an indication of a resident skunk. A neighbor’s pet may have been sprayed with the musk and moved in under your deck.
The most effective means of avoiding skunk problems is to remove denning sites under and around structures such as garages and homes.
There are no toxicants or repellents registered in Pennsylvania for use on skunks.
Skunks eat many pest species that cause damage to lawns and vegetation.
Trash and recycling are Fridays from 6 am to 7 pm. Your trash must be in the Apple Waste totes that were provided to you.

ALERT!
I may be beautiful, but I’m dangerous. I’m the Spotted Lanternfly and I invaded from Southeast Asia. Although small, I multiply rapidly by laying egg masses. I can affect trees, orchards, and fruit-bearing vines.
If you see me, email [email protected] and [email protected].
