Authorities in Upper Merion are searching for two people who they say ripped out freshly planted trees and damaged dozens more along a local trail.
The Upper Merion Police Department shared still images Wednesday that showed two suspects, both described as white males in their teens or early 20s.Investigators found that a total of 62 trees along Crow Creek Trail were either ripped from the ground or otherwise damaged, according to police. "My guess is they’re probably local to the area because they were carrying fishing poles. The Schuylkill River is just down the road here.
"I started thinking about issues in my community, and one of the community members on the Shade Tree Commission said that this area has an issue with stormwater," said Montich. "One way to mitigate that would be to plant more riparian trees to absorb the excess water and prevent it from leaking out and flooding the Township.
