The Greenwich Tree Conservancy celebrated Arbor Day and its 6th anniversary at McArdle’s Greenhouse Friday night.

Money raised this year will help fund a program that would allow the conservancy to plant trees around parking lots in downtown Greenwich.

“Specifically this year, we are dealing with a new technology called Silva Cell,” said Greenwich Tree Conservancy Executive Director JoAnn Messina. “Which is something that allows us to plant trees in parking lots, on sidewalks, and it can take traffic and the routes don’t get compressed.” Click here to read the full story by Priscilla Lombardi on It’s Relevant.

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.
