Trees And Thank You

To the Editor:

The Newtown Forest Association (NFA) was fortunate to be able to distribute 4,000 evergreen trees at this year’s Labor Day Parade and Earth Day Festival. This was possible due to a generous grant from the Iroquois Community Grant Program, an effort of the Iroquois Gas Transmission Systems to provide unique funding opportunities which empowers communities to take steps to preserve their environmental heritage and increase passive recreational opportunities. Additional funds from the Newtown Tree Project endowment were also used to supplement the total cost.

The NFA would like to thank the Iroquois Community Grant Program and the Newtown Tree Project for their ongoing support of the NFA’s mission and its tree sapling outreach programs.

Sincerely,

Tim Gagne

NFA Board of Directors
