Malvern Borough is grateful for the Pennsylvania Department of Community & Economic Developments support in bringing the Randolph Woods Nature Preserve improvements to fruition with a grant totaling $158,249. Phase 1 of the Master Site Plan focuses on ADA-accessible amenities that will make this “hidden gem” a refuge for people across the region, bringing them in direct contact with the natural resources surrounding this headwaters of the Crum Creek. Together, the Pennsylvania Department of Community & Economic Development and the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources are contributing $408,249 towards $500,000 of improvements, including an ADA compliant creek trail and boardwalk, a new ADA compliant pedestrian bridge, improved access to the site, an ADA compliant meadow creek trail and meadow restoration, interpretation of this important headwaters area and forest preserve, ADA compliant parking, a nature-based play area, stormwater best management practices, installation of ADA compliant benches and picnic tables, and tree plantings.
The process to revitalize and preserve Randolph Woods began in 2015 through an ad-hoc committee that developed the Randolph Woods Master Site Plan. Senator Timothy P. Kearney, Senator Carolyn T. Comitta and Representative Kristine C. Howard’s offices are in active support of the revitalization of Randolph Woods and played a key role in securing grant funding recently and throughout the years. The Borough greatly appreciates and commends their commitment and stewardship of Chester County and the Malvern Borough community. Malvern Borough looks forward to preserving and providing a nature preserve for the community to enjoy.
The Malvern Borough Police Department announces the promotion to the rank of Corporal to Officers Dougherty and Walker. The new Corporals were sworn in by Judge Mackenzie Smith at our October 5th, 2022, Council Meeting with their families in attendance. Congratulations to Corporal Dougherty and Corporal Walker.
To: Malvern Borough Residents
The Shade Tree commission will continue its partnership with The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society to participate in The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation & Natural Resources TreeVitalize Program. This program makes high quality, bare root, ready to plant shade trees available for a nominal fee. This partnership along with the participation of Malvern residents and the Borough covering the cost, has made it possible for over 300 trees to be planted throughout the Borough.
If you are a borough resident interested in a tree for your property this Fall, please email the STC at: malvernstc@malvern.org. We will have small, medium and large trees available. With your email request, please submit your home address as well as phone number. This offer is a first come, first serve basis, so please contact us before September 6th. Tree orders, size and species selection, instructions for planting, and delivery dates are communicated to interested residents via email. We owe a special thanks to our Public Works Department for the pick-up in Philadelphia and delivering these trees to our residents on November 16th. Together we are continuing to keep Malvern green and providing lovely streetscapes.
