Description

Walk with experts from the Newport Tree Conservancy for a closer look at trees in the urban landscape surrounding Queen Anne Square. As humans continue to develop urban environments, trees are a key element in making these places more habitable and aesthetically pleasing. We will discuss the benefits of trees in our cities and towns, suitable species and varieties, street trees, and look at some specimens that have stood the test of time in the urban environment. Working hand-in-hand with the City of Newport's Division of Forestry, the Newport Tree Conservancy is is dedicated to protecting, celebrating and replanting Newport's legendary urban forest.
