04/29/08 - Contributors would receive a certificate that includes a map showing the location of the tree, the date of the planting and other info


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.
