Trees for the Future

Members of the Ocean County Shade Tree Commission joined with first and second grade students from the George J. Mitchell Elementary School to celebrate Arbor Day and plant four Sugar Maple trees at Freedom Fields County Park in Little Egg Harbor on April 29.  After the ceremonies, the children and guests were presented with Red Oak seedlings to take home and plant. Another 700 seedlings were also given to the students and staff at the nearby Mitchell elementary school.
