Our April event will feature George Smith, who will discuss the Trees of Brighton, focusing on the history of trees in our landscape, and current efforts to maintain the presence of trees in our community – including the upcoming annual celebration of Arbor Day in Brighton. Brighton is a Tree City USA, an honor from the Arbor Day Foundation.
