Grassroots Central Mass (GCM) will continue its tradition of celebrating nature and community with its fourth “Trees Are Treasures” tree giveaway and nature events on Sunday, May 18 at Wells State Park in Sturbridge from 10 am- 3:00 pm.

GCM, a local affiliate of Indivisible Mass Coalition (IMC), is again co-sponsoring this year’s event with Brookfields Fight Fear (BFF). Both GCM and BFF are local groups dedicated to serving the communities we live in through finding and supporting solutions to issues in our communities, our state, and our nation.

Our event includes a short, level walk along the Mill Pond Trail at Wells State Park, where costumed interpreters are stationed to discuss the importance of wetlands, stone wall history, and forest ecosystems, at both child and adult levels. This is a family friendly stroll.

This free event will also include children’s crafts under the pavilion, storytelling, and a free tree seedling giveaway. Join us to celebrate and appreciate the beauty of our native forest.
