BRATTLEBORO — On Sunday, April 29, in Green River and in Guilford, 300 trees were planted by a grassroots group of local citizenry and students, led by landscape designer and Green River resident Dina Iris Kail, and made possible with grants from the Connecticut River Watershed Alliance and New England Public Radio's “Root For Your River Programs” to replant trees along the Tropical Storm Irene–damaged Green River watershed.
A big thanks to Nasami Farm, the New England Wildflower Society, and the Hampton-Hampshire Conservation District for the trees, and to the 30 local volunteers who came out with shovels, gloves, and buckets to help plant them.
