Arbor Day Celebration

Saturday, April 13, 2013

The event began with the planting of a Princeton Gold holly (a Flemer cultivar) in the Arboretum.   Dedicated to the memory of David Paulovic, a plant propagator for Princeton Nurseries, it was ably put into the ground by Bill Flemer, with the assistance of Dave’s family.

President Karen Linder gave a guided walk, providing a close look at the trees of the Preserve, with a focus on identification, natural history, wildlife value and the beneficial role of trees in our environment.

A second tree was planted after the walk, highlighting best practices for getting new trees off to a good start.
