Memorial Planting
Tree Stewards, Volunteers and Members of RITree,
The Rhode Island Tree Council is planting twenty tuliptrees, Liriodendron tulipifera at the RI Veterans' Memorial Cemetery in Exeter, RI on Saturday, June 4, 2011.
The 2 diameter inch saplings will be installed along a section of Main Street from the Memorial Chapel behind the Administration Building to the north entrance gate leading to Route 2. Main Street is a long, circular road that connects the front to the back of the cemetery.
This planting is the first of many whose ultimate goal is to line the entire length of this major cemetery travel lane with tall, wide-spreading trees.
We will not be able to plant these magnificent trees without your help.
Anyone interested in helping is asked to contact RITree by Wednesday, June 1st. We will meet at the parking lot in front of the Administration Building on June 4th around 9:15 AM. The Main Street planting will start promptly at 9:30 AM.
