The GTC is proud to partner with the Town of Greenwich on the first phase of an ambitious habitat restoration and tree-planting project at Laddin’s Rock Sanctuary in Old Greenwich.
Prior to restoration efforts, large sections of the 18-acre sanctuary—featuring natural forest, walking trails and waterways—had become severely degraded by invasive Japanese knotweed. Greenwich Parks & Trees staff successfully removed the knotweed and will continue to monitor and maintain the area in the coming months.
Following the invasive removal, we planted an initial 70 trees throughout the sanctuary, with additional plantings planned for the spring. The trees include a diverse mix of cold-hardy native species commonly found in Connecticut forests, such as American hornbeam, tulip tree and five species of oak.
