This project would not have been possible without the dedication of our volunteers and tree planting staff and the cooperation of Southbridge town officials and support from the U.S. Forest Service and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation.
Let’s come together to celebrate this achievement and the greener future we are creating for Southbridge!
