ESSEX — In its pursuit of a Tree City USA designation, the Essex Conservation & Trails Committee (CTC) applied for and was granted a 2021 Arbor Day Tree Planting Grant
To celebrate Vermont Arbor Day, the Vermont Urban & Community Forestry Program has provided kits for public libraries with items to get families outside and learn more about trees.
This year, Vermont Arbor Day is Friday, May 7, and Jeudevine Library has 40 kits to give away to help families celebrate. The kits include a sugar maple seed planting kit, a tree scavenger hunt, tree craft ideas, a guide to Vermont trees and bookmarks. The kits are free for both individuals and families.
If you would like to get a kit, call phone the library at 472-5948 or email jeudevinememoriallibrary@gmail.com.
In addition to kits, families that would like to be entered in the Arbor Day raffle can submit a photo of their child or family working on the tree scavenger hunt or Arbor Day craft project.
