All,
The Town of Sturbridge is seeking residents to participate in "Operation Re-Leaf" ... an enhanced tree re-planting program scheduled for the spring of 2012.
The annual tree planting program has been coordinated by Tom Chamberland and the Tree Warden Advisory Committee. Due to the tornado, and the goal to re-vegetate impacted areas, last month I met with the Tree Warden, Town Planner and a representative of the TWAC to proactively coordinate efforts. Thus yielded "Operation Re-Leaf."
The program builds upon the efforts of the Tree Warden and TWAC which have organized volunteers and resources to plant over 80 trees in the past two years. The FY12 approval of $4,500 in total Betterment Committee funds for tree plantings, together with an expected state commitment of $10,000 in further assistance due to the tornado, has allowed the Town to take an aggressive and vigorous approach towards re-greening the community.
Due to the ordering schedule for tree suppliers, we need to have some good numbers by the end of December.
Questions should be directed to:
Tom Chamberland, Tree Warden @ tchamberland@town.sturbridge.ma.us Phone: 508-347-2044 ext-2
Joe Kowalski, Deputy Tree Warden @ joseph@ganeshtree.com Phone: 508-347-5001
