Tree City

This from Kristine Trierweiller –

The Medfield Board of Selectmen will vote to recognize Thursday, October 9, 2014 as Arbor Day in Medfield. In honor of this observance, the Medfield Board of Selectmen will dedicate the new street trees that have been planted on Main Street outside of Brothers Marketplace. Please join us for the ceremonial planting and reading of the Arbor Day Proclamation. Ceremony will take place at 446 Main Street at 9AM. The trees being planted are Ginkgo trees.

This will be the Town’s second Annual Arbor Day Declaration and is being done as part of the Tree City, USA program. The Town of Medfield was recognized earlier this year by the National Arbor Day Foundation and has achieved status as a Tree City, USA.  The Tree City USA program was created by the National Arbor Day Foundation to commend the efforts of tree preservation in American Communities. The program promotes forestry within the community as well as education and instilling a sense of pride in the community.
