2007 Arbor Day Awards Ceremony
This year, Project Canopy will host a statewide Arbor Day ceremony on May 21st from 1pm-3pm at the Augusta State Capitol, Hall of Flags, to demonstrate the economic and ecological benefits of urban and community forestry. Representative Ted Koffman (District 35), who chairs the Committee on Natural Resources, will be our guest speaker. Governor Baldacci also has been invited to the event and will present awards to our 14 Maine Tree Cities and to the 2007 Maine Arbor Day poster contest winner, Kelsea Wotton from the Friendship Village School. Pete Lammert, former utilization forester and current project forester, will be presented with the 2007 Community Forestry Excellence Award. There will also be tree seedling distribution during the ceremony, generously donated by Irving Woodlands LLC. Please show your support for urban and community forestry by attending this event. |
