In support of Lowell’s 15th year as a Tree City USA, the Lowell Parks & Conservation Trust has partnered with the City of Lowell to plant over 113 trees in honor of Arbor Day.  In the spring and early summer of 2011, trees were planted in Cupples Square, Armory Park, Clemente Park, and many other public spaces within the City.  As seen here, the final tree planting of the year took place at Lowell City Hall on December 14, 2011.  In the photo from left to right are Sarah Brown, DPD; Jane Calvin, LP&CT Executive Director; Diane Tradd, DPD; City Manager, Bernie Lynch; and Rachel Kisker, DPD.
