Manchester Tree Planting - Thank you!

Thank you to all who showed up in the drenching deluge on Saturday, October 24th, to mark the 350.org's International Day of Climate Action! Senator Bob Hartwell (D-Bennington) joined two dozen Manchester citizens to plant a tree at Adams Park. The Liberty apple tree was donated and planted by local parter Steve Jones of Mettowee Mill Nursery, which represents the 350 apple, peach, pear, plum and cherry trees that will be planted by teams of volunteers (i.e., us! you!) in the spring. All the trees have been sold.

Joining us in the torrential sog was Cindy Lewis, Hildene Master Gardener, whose fellow MGs be some of the experts who will participate with us in the spring planting. This event was one of more than 5200 events organized in 181 countries--from the Taj Mahal to the Great Barrier Reef to right here in Manchester, Vermont!

More info will come periodically over the winter. In the meantime, gather ye spades, gloves, and strength for spring planting!
