Arbor Day of Service 2020
(continued from page 1)
We hope everyone planning a project will take a moment to visit
MassArbor.org to tell us your plans. We want to promote your
volunteer efforts.
Editor’s Note: Last year, the MAA partnered with the Trustees at
Appleton Farm in Ipswich, MA for an association-wide Arbor Day of
Service celebration. We’ll plan on similar, large-scale group event in
April 2021.
Arbor Day Projects
Here’s a sampling of some of the nonprofit sites that are planning
projects, and asking for assistance from MAA volunteers, on
Arbor Day of Service. To see the full list of community project
ideas, visit MassArbor.org.
Mass Audubon Education Center &
Wildlife Sanctuary
Belmont, MA
We have a well-used preschool Nature Play Area where a dying
red maple that has been shedding limbs over the stump jump
area, white pines that require some thinning or removal, and
two fallen pines that need to be cut to lie better for safety. On
the larger scale, we have a need to remove potentially hazardous
limbs over our All Persons’ Accessible Trail, cut back overgrowth
around our Community Gardens, and there are large fallen
trees that have caused us to temporarily re-route some of our
other trails.

Gardens at Elm Bank Balch House
Wellesley, MA Beverly, MA
MAA members are familiar with this home of the Mass Horticul-
tural Society, as many of our association’s educational events are
hosted at Elm Bank. Member companies and volunteers are
invited to participate in a collaborative project that includes PHC,
planting, safety pruning, and some removals based on risk assess-
ment at this ever-evolving, educational epicenter of horticulture.
The Balch House is one of Beverly’s oldest and most important
properties. We would like to prune two larges maples and one
dogwood, as well as remove a smaller maple. Additional work
might include pruning and removals in the maple grove. It
would make a huge impact to our small, private, nonprofit to
receive this help.
