Introduction and Overview
Jane Harris
Chair, Middletown Urban Forestry Commission

Tree Grants, including the Street Tree Inventory
Chris Donnelly
Middletown Forester
In 2024, Middletown received a DEEP grant to conduct a tree inventory. Chris will describe the project, including ways in which you can become involved.

Tree Walks and the ‘Microforest’ Project
Steve Cronkite
Vice-Chair, Middletown Urban Forestry Commission
Steve will discuss an upcoming tree walk, open to the public, and also plans for a ‘Microforest’, based on the Miyawaki Forest concept.

Further Tree Discussions and a Look-Ahead
The Commission recognizes that the people of Middletown have a great deal of interest in their trees and that these trees are a fundamental part of the city’s environment. The contribution of trees is something that we all share.

We want to use this time to explore ways in which the community’s involvement with the urban forest can benefit everyone. Included in the discussion will be the importance of public trees, the role of the tree warden and why public involvement is of such value.

The potential for future grants and other tree-related activities will also be considered.

All are Invited! Come hear about what is going on with the trees in Middletown.
Find out how you can help.
