A representative reported that Wise Oak has offered a tree donation for Arbor Day; the Select Board discussed possible planting locations and stewardship plans.
Members identified candidate locations including Williams Park and Prouty Park, noted some existing plantings and potential dedicated plaques, and recommended coordinating with Mark Wright and the conservation commission to identify a suitable site. One member suggested the project could be a good fit for a high-school senior project or service troop to help install and document dedications. The board asked staff to follow up and to consider coordinating planting timing with the parks department and any upcoming construction or disturbance in park areas.
