Trees for Our Future

As a gift to the town and its future, members of the Northfield Garden Club started the “Tr e e 5 0 t h” project to plant 50 new trees along Main Street in honor of our 350th anniversary last year. With the help of a grant from the state Department of Conservation and Recreation, planting will continue this fall and potentially next spring. To prepare, Dickinson Memorial Library and the garden club will host a special public presentation, “Trees for Our Future,” Thursday, Sept. 19, 5:30 p.m. at the library. We’ll begin with a tree planting demonstration. Even if you know how to plant a tree, come hear our speaker, Dan Ziomek, Manager of Sugarloaf Nurseries in Sunderland, talk about the benefits of trees and how to care for them. Also an expert on birds (he hosts WRSI’s Birdsongs show), Dan will lead our discussion and answer your questions. All welcome!”
