On Arbor Day weekend, April 30, Suffield Tree Committee member Kevin Sullivan along with his wife Krist, son Patrick and daughter-in-law Lauren Sullivan kick-started the Trees for Suffield Initiative with the donation of the first five trees in a ten-year planting plan.
Kevin Sullivan talks trees.
The single biggest group of trees to be planted on the Green in memory, the Sullivan family donation was given in recognition of the Baker family’s seven decades of continued excellence in the nursery industry throughout the U.S. and their unwavering commitment to the Suffield community itself.
Ready to dig for another donated tree are Kevin Sullivan and students Zoe Crane, with shovel, and Carolyn Ducharme, with rake.
In addition to donating the trees and orchestrating their planting, Kevin gave a lively and informative talk on the hows and whys of tree planting before giving instruction to Suffield high school student volunteers from teacher Kyle McCollough’s civics class.
