Fresh Coast Capital Begins Planting Acres of Trees in Youngstown

Tuesday, June 28, 2016

In late spring 2016, Fresh Coast Capital planted its first trees in Youngstown at three underutilized city park sites: Stambaugh Field, Gibson Field, and Tod Field.

Fresh Coast has planted hybrid poplar trees on the city park sites. Hybrid poplars are a fast growing tree that absorb large amounts of moisture and contaminants and ease the burden of stormwater on city infrastructure. They can be harvested in twelve to fifteen years, once they have reached more than eighty feet in height. Fresh Coast Capital is a mission-driven company using private capital that is dedicated to helping cities manage blight and stormwater on their vacant and contaminated land.
