About the Sheffield Tree Project
The mission of the Sheffield Tree Project is to work with the community to plant and care for a beautiful and diverse population of trees in the public areas of Sheffield, Massachusetts, and to educate the public on the benefits of community forestry.
What We Do
Planting and maintaining trees along our streets and commons will create beautiful, shady surroundings for the community and visitors. Trees contribute to a more healthy environment; they help to clean the air and water, and provide protection against the cold winds of winter and the heat of the summer sun. The goal of the Sheffield Tree Project is to bring together all members of our community and build on our civic pride by restoring our trees.
Who We Are
A core group of tireless and dedicated volunteer board members have anchored the efforts, while dozens more have come to join us on Planting Day. We have planted Sugar Maples, Red Maples, Red Oaks, White Oaks, Chincapin Oaks, American Sycamores, Crabapples, and many disease-resistant American elms.
Join the Cause
STP has planted trees with the help of contractors, homeowners, high school and grade school students, toddlers, and passers-by.
We have enjoyed the help of community groups and organizations, including The Sheffield Kiwanis, Elm Watch, the Sheffield Land Trust, the Sheffield Historical Society and Troup 28 of the Boy Scouts of America.
Community partners have provided trees to plant and reside in Sheffield.
Thank you to the support of our local businesses:
Whalen Nurseries in Great Barrington, Ward’s Nursery and Garden Center in Great Barrington, and Ingersoll Land Care right here in Sheffield.
