A tree was planted at the community center for visitors to enjoy. An exhibit featured local artists Valerie George and Yvonne LeBrun on display inside the community center as well as select pieces from a mail art contest “Strong Trees, Strong Communities”. Winners from the contest received their awards. Educational information about trees and natural resources in our area was also distributed.

We received two crabapple trees years ago at an Arbor Day giveaway. They were mere twigs, maybe six inches long. One, sadly, did not live, but the other tree has soared to at least 20 feet in height and two seasons of birds have seen fit to make nests and raise their babies in it!
