PRESS RELEASE
Woodbridge Notable Tree Identification
A Joint Project of
the Woodbridge Garden Club and the Woodbridge
Park Association
This is the short version of our press
release:
The Woodbridge Garden Club and the Woodbridge Park Association Announce a Town Wide Notable Tree Identification Project
Woodbridge Garden Club
President Betty Fearon and Woodbridge Park Association President Richard
Forselius, with essential assistance from Leslie Martino, are pleased to
announce a town of Woodbridge-wide joint notable tree identification project. Especially grand and unusual species of trees
will be cataloged in a database. This
project will be launched on Arbor Day, April 30th, 2004.
All Woodbridge residents are
cordially invited to submit nominations of notable trees using a tree
identification form. Trees may be nominated
from resident’s private property or public properties such as those held by the
town of Woodbridge, the Woodbridge Park Association, the Woodbridge Land Trust,
etc.
A small
identification team will be sent to each nominated tree to catalog it. Woodbridge Boy Scout troops and other
community organizations are invited to assist with this effort. The tree species will be verified; the
circumference of the trunk and height & breadth of the tree will be measured. A photograph will be taken, and the GPS
coordinates will be recorded and plotted on a map of the town of Woodbridge.
This project was partially
undertaken to commemorate the seventieth anniversary of the Woodbridge Garden
Club and will also be discussed at the seventy-fifth anniversary celebration of
the Woodbridge Park Association on Sunday, May 16, 2004 at 3:00 PM. A 75th ceremony will be held at the entrance
to the Alice Newton Street Park in Woodbridge Center between the Town Hall and
the First Church of Christ Parish House.
