Ansonia Nature Center slates sugar maple tree planting event

ANSONIA - Plant, soil, mulch, and water… We at the Ansonia Nature Center need your help at 9 a.m. Sept. 23 with placing 20 new trees into the ground! 

We are excited to announce that we received a grant from the Connecticut Urban Forest Council to plant 20 sugar maple trees. 

The Ansonia Nature Center is one step closer to achieving our dream of planting a stand of trees that will benefit future generations. We ask all to come and help us make history by being a part of our tree-planting crew. 

Tools will be provided. Groups welcome! 

The Nature Center is at 10 Deerfield Lane.

“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is today.”
