OLD LYME—Celebrate Arbor Day by helping plant a new generation of trees in Old Lyme!
Join the Old Lyme (OL) Tree Commission’s Second Annual Spring Seedling Event when commission members will give away an assortment of five Native Species of tree seedlings. The event will be held on Saturday, April 27, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Memorial Town Hall on Lyme St. in Old Lyme.
Old Lyme residents will be able to select up to three seedlings from a choice of:
Evergreen tree:- White Spruce
Ornamental flowering trees:- White Dogwood or Eastern Redbud
Shade trees:- Sugar Maple or Scarlet Oak.
The percentage of survival of the seedlings is an important component of the project. This year, residents will be asked to sign in and register before they collect their seedlings. This will enable the commission to collect data on their health. Written instructions will be provided with the plants.
Seem here potting up the seedlings are, from left to right in the foreground, Old Lyme Tree Commission members Michael Gaffey, and Joan Flynn, and in the rear, Fred Behringer at left and Emily Griswold at right. Mark Comstock, owner of the Hydrangea Galore Nursery, stands between Behringer and Griswold.
As happened last year, the commission purchased 250 seedlings from the Arbor Day Foundation and gathered at Hydrangea Galore Nursery with owner Mark Comstock, to pot the seedlings. Comstock donated the soil, pots and trays, and also made space available in the nursery for the potting task.
Old Lyme Tree Commission members are grateful for both Comstock’s generosity and his support of the commission’s goal to plant a new generation of trees in Old Lyme.
The commission is looking forward to meeting with the community members, who will take home and nurture the seedlings that will provide beauty, shade to their properties, while also enhancing the community’s landscape.
Lyme-Old Lyme Schools Superintendent Ian Neviaser commented, “This is an amazing accomplishment by these young men and women. They have worked incredibly hard. We are so excited for them.”
Winning the state championship has earned the LOLHS team the honor of representing Connecticut at the National Mock Trial Competition in Wilmington, Del. in early May.
The team’s coach, Laura Nelson, has started a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds to send the team and its coaches to Wilmington to compete.
Nelson states on the GoFundMe page, ” Please consider donating to our trip fund to help them realize their goal and represent Lyme-Old Lyme and the State of Connecticut at the highest level..”
