SATURDAY APRIL 26

The bumper sticker “If you’re breathing, thank a tree” says it all!

On Arbor Day, April 25, the world officially recognizes the importance of trees for their miracle of photosynthesis as well as for the beauty and shelter they provide.

During Arbor Day weekend, arborists throughout Massachusetts will be participating in MAA Day of Service events.

Natascha Batchelor of The Davey Tree Expert Co. in Falmouth is organizing a Day of Service for Saturday April 26 at Meetinghouse Farm. Participating arborists will be pruning and removing trees to improve the safety and health of trees around the Farm. The Farm’s trees are a unique community resource and we appreciate the participation of local arborists in this statewide event.

(Arborists earn MCA credit for participation)
