Friends of Manchester Trees

Liriodendron tulipifera, Ulmus americana, Liquidambar styraciflua, Quercus alba. More commonly known as Tulip tree, American Elm, Sweet Gum, and White Oak, these are just some of the twenty-one new trees planted around Manchester this week. Every spring, for the past fifty-one years, we have been adding to Manchester’s tree canopy to create a healthier and more beautiful town.  With the financial support of members and with permission from the DPW, this local non-profit plants trees on public streets, in parks, and in cemeteries. There are countless benefits to planting trees in an urban or suburban environment, including cleaner air and water, support for wildlife, and happier residents.  If you’d like a new Acer rubrum (Red Maple) in your front yard or want to plant a Cladrastris kentuckea (Yellowwood) in honor of someone, we want to know.  Planning for spring planting in 2025 is officially underway.
