October 15, 2017 – Valley Forge Elm Tree in memory of Bill Murphy

This past August, the MLRA requested the Arboretum Committee to plant a tree in the memory of Bill Murphy. The tree that was chosen is a Valley Forge Elm Tree, Ulmus americana. It is located along Medford Leas Way between Courts 41 and 23, just opposite the Berm. The MLRA will formally dedicate the tree at their meeting on October 16. The tree will eventually grow to a height of over 60 feet to remind us of Bill’s kind and dedicated service to Medford Leas from 1972-2016.
