Gunn Square Park Planting




Hi everyone,


The Springfield Arbor Allies planted 3 new Quercus palustris-Pin Oaks in Gunn Square Park. This was part of the Springfield College Humanics Day where volunteers from the college do service work throughout the City of Springfield. Thank you to all of you who came out to volunteer on this wet and rainy day. The air, water and beauty is a little better because of your efforts in the Upper Hill Neighborhood of Springfield. A special thanks to Michael Jones who really took the lead on getting the trees in this park. We plan on planting 3 Liriodendron tulipifera- Tulip Trees in the spring at Gunn Square Park to compliment the 3 Pin Oaks. Please come out to volunteer when you get the chance.




Sincerely,


Michael Tully
