370 trees for town's 370th birthday

With Greenwich two years away from celebrating its 370th anniversary, the Greenwich Tree Conservancy has launched a new program to get an equal number of trees rooted throughout town...

...There are different levels of donations, ranging from $500 to "custom" amounts. At the high end, contributors can work with town and conservancy officials to develop a specialized gift, which might represent a larger tree or a grove of trees...

..."Part of our feeling was to get the Girl Scouts to plant the seedlings," she said, noting that they had to sign a contract that they would care for the tree.

"Really, one of our major focuses is the stewardship," she said.
