In honor of Arbor Day, Wilton’s Conservation Commission is hosting an event this Friday, April 26, 2024, at 9am, on Schenck’s Island, where two newly planted trees will be named for the Tree Steward of 2022, Frank Simone, and 2023, Nick Lee.
First Selectman, Toni Boucher, will read a Proclamation that dedicates Wilton to protecting trees and woodlands and encourages citizens to plant and care for trees. Trees increase property values, reduce erosion in our topsoil, moderate the temperature, clean the air, produce oxygen, provide habitats for wildlife, are a renewable resource, enhance the economic vitality of business areas, beautify our community and elevate our spirit.
Wilton is proud to be officially designated as a Tree City, USA.
