In 2018, the Village of Liverpool was designated as a Tree City USA. Liverpool Tree City USA committee members will talk about what it means to receive the designation and their ongoing work. Lisa Ballantyne will then lead us on a walk to look at and talk about the ten trees planted by the committee in Washington and Johnson Parks, and at the Gleason Mansion. We will also stop at the trees located in Johnson Park that represent the six Haudenosaunee nations and at any noteworthy trees along the way. The Tree City USA program has been greening up cities and towns across America since 1976. It is a nationwide movement that provides the framework necessary for communities to manage and expand their public trees.
