Trees for Suffield and students from both the A. Ward Spaulding School and McAlister School celebrated Arbor Day on a beautiful April day by planting fast growing sugar maple trees. Placed near the play areas at each school they will provide both shade for the students and beautiful bright red foliage in the fall. The trees were purchased by a generous grant from the J. Gladwin Cannon Trust and the planting services were donated by Bills Landscaping.
To celebrate Arbor Day, students from Spaulding and McAlister Intermediate School help plant sugar maple trees.
Sue Mayne from Trees for Suffield talked with the students about the importance of planting trees correctly and the continued care needed for their successful survival. They assisted in finishing the planting process by covering the base of the trees with soil and carrying buckets of water to them so the trees would be hydrated. It was another successful day for Trees for Suffield.
