Volunteers needed to plant trees April 30
In celebration of Arbor Day, the Nutmeg Chapter of TU has received a partial grant to purchase trees and shrubs to help protect local rivers. On Saturday April 30, we’ll be planting along the Mill River on Park Avenue in Easton. There is easy parking on Riverside Lane.
Volunteers are needed to help plant trees in the South Park Ave. property in Easton on Saturday, April 30. We’ll start at 9 and finish by 11 and reinforce ourselves with coffee and donuts. Those delicious donuts will come from Coffee ‘An in Westport and were a Paul Newman favorite! We do ask volunteers to bring shovels.

(Note that we’ll use Sunday May 1 as a fallback rain date).
The area we’re planting will soon be acquired by the Aspetuck Land Trust. Their purchase of the 18.6 acre parcel and our planting will help protect this environmentally sensitive section of the Mill protect our cold-water fishery.
Note the ground is quite soft so digging won’t be very onerous. You’ll want to have gloves and bug spray and don’t forget fishing gear for some fun after the planting as this section holds feisty wild browns and brookies and doesn’t get much pressure.
Is anyone Easton resident welcome?
Anyone is welcome
Look forward to volunteering!
