Commission approves additional funds for Nathaniel Stevens memorial tree
The commission approved adding $250 to a previously earmarked $250 and accepted a $500 Arlington Land Trust match to plant a white oak and install a commemorative plaque at the Sims property; installation and watering will be provided by Arlington 360 volunteers.
The full story
Commissioners discussed planting a native white oak (3‑inch caliper) to honor Nathaniel Stevens at the Sims property overlook, replacing a previous tree that did not survive. Brian McBride described a plan that includes a commemorative plaque; the commission noted an existing $250 earmark from 2019 and voted to approve an additional $250 from the conservation stewards fund so that, together with a $500 Arlington Land Trust match and donated installation, the project budget (approximately $1,000) is covered.
