Please join us in helping care for the beech collection at Aquidneck Park. We meet Saturday mornings to mulch and weed the area surrounding the trees in the park, which contains nearly 40 beech trees representing eight different cultivars. Several majestic trees have come down in the park over the last several years, and shade is at a premium. We are seeing the benefits of this mulching effort in 2024, with the beeches looking happier with more complete leaf formation than we saw in 2023. No experience necessary. Volunteers are needed weekly for this recurring opportunity to make a difference in Newport’s urban forest. Volunteers receive NTC T-shirts. Tools will be provided.
