Sturbridge: Is your yard a little bare? Would you like to green it up or add some color? How about providing a source of food for our wildlife? Then the Sturbridge tree warden has a program for you!
Sturbridge Residents can “adopt a tree”. Sturbridge Tree Warden Tom Chamberland is offering a free tree to any resident with space in their front yard for a tree or two. The town will purchase and plant the tree, your adoption duties will be to properly water and mulch the tree for the next three years. There is a pre-approved tree selection list, and established “right tree in the right place” guidelines. Both of which may be obtained by sending an email inquiry to Tree Warden Tom Chamberland at tchamberland@town.sturbridge.ma.us. Deadline for adoption applications is March 4, 2016. Planting will occur sometime after April 15th.
In announcing this year’s “adopt a tree program” Sturbridge Tree Warden Tom Chamberland said “I am pleased to again be able to offer this program to residents as a way to help beautify and enhance our community, along with improving our environment. When you plant a tree, you are leaving something for others to enjoy in the future, much like what we enjoy so much of today in Sturbridge."
If any resident has a question on this program I urge them to contact 774-200-3947.
