Visit the Tree Fam
The Sheffield Tree Project came out of a 1997 effort by a dedicated core of residents who wanted to bring back the American Elm to the town of Sheffield. They bought 35 'Liberty' Elms, heeled them in and planted them around town in May of 1997.
Five years later, the Sheffield Tree Project was formally brought together and applied for a $5k "Re-Leaf" grant from the DCR. Now 28 years later, nearly 193+ trees have been planted among Sheffield. You can find these trees in the Town Park, at the Bushnell Sage Library, on the Green, and on the school campuses of Undermountain and Mount Everett.
Safety First
When visiting the trees, make sure you park in an appropriate location and be seen. Wear bright clothing and please don't assume vehicular traffic sees you.
