Five women were sworn-in to Bridgeville’s inaugural shade tree commission on Oct. 6.
Jen Brilmyer was named chairperson; Courtney Tolmer was appointed as vice chairperson and Alison Thomas was named secretary.
Other commission members include Virginia Schneider and Kayla Lawrence.
The borough established the commission this year. Shade tree commissions help guide the planting, care and preservation of trees in public spaces, such as parks and rights of way.
The commission will meet quarterly, said Manager Joe Kauer. The next meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Feb. 2.
