Arboretum

"What kind of tree is that?"
"What does it do for the environment?"
"Does it provide food for wildlife?"

How many times have you looked at a tree and asked these same questions?  We know that just placing a name on a tree is not enough.  That is why we are taking special care in not only identifying our woodland trees, but providing detailed information about each one as well.

We are pleased to announce that the National Tree Trust awarded EAP a project grant in March 2004 to do just that.  With the grant we were able to buy and plant 170 wetland trees along the walking path through the woods.  The remainder of the grant funded special signs that are now posted at the trees that give detailed information, pictures, and anecdotes about the trees.  This is the beginning of a program to interpret not only the trees, but the functioning of a healthy wetland and flood plain.
