Rotary honors community service at tree planting
Trees for the Alfond Youth Center
Waterville Rotary Club members planted two Linden Leaf trees at the Alfond Youth Center at 10:30 a.m. Friday (April 27) in honor of National Arbor Day and to celebrate community service.
The tree-planting was a community-city-business effort. The trees were donated by Sunset Flowerland & Greenhouses and were transported to the Youth Center by Eagle Rental. Staff from the Waterville Parks and Recreation Department donated their time to plant the trees, which have been marked by a stone and plaque. Yankee Trophy designed the plaque; the display stone is being donated by MacKenzie Landscaping.
