Trees Planted In Portland!
The Jonah Center has now planted 17 trees in Portland as part of our Replace Our Trees program, thanks to funds donated in 2020. These sites were chosen because new trees in these locations provide the highest public benefit. In some cases, the property owners shared in the cost of the new trees, which extended our planting program. We anticipate having funds to plant 2 more trees in the fall at appropriate sites that have already been identified. Pictured here are: Milca Santiago; Bonita Brockers and her son Cartier Brockers; Jesslyn Jordan her daughter Savannah LaFountain and son Travis LaFountain. Last year, the Jonah Center planted 22 trees in Middletown around the Northern Middlesex YMCA and on Middletown Housing Authority property between Church Street and William Street.
