Our Fifth Awesome Tree Contest Starts Now!

As the leaves begin falling from the trees, focus your camera on a favorite tree of yours, click, and send the photo to the Greenwich Tree Conservancy’s fifth Awesome Tree Contest. You don’t have to be a professional photographer, just someone who is wowed by the particular shape of a particular tree and you can be a winner. The categories for nominations of awesome trees are as follows:

Bruce Park Arboretum

4319802_origThe Greenwich Tree Conservancy is so very proud to announce the beginning of a Town-wide Arboretum at Bruce Park. Below is a map of the 26 trees that have been labeled thus far. With your donations we can continue to work with the Town to label our trees and begin the planning and record-keeping necessary for our “museum” of trees. The hope is to continue in Bruce Park as well as the Montgomery Pinetum and work towards Byram and Binney Parks as well. Please visit Bruce Park and send us your thoughts, suggestions and donations.
