The Town of Newborn completed planting Georgia ReLeaf Grant trees in Newborn last month. A total of 12 trees were planted in select locations along several street right of ways. The trees were provided by a Georgia ReLeaf Grant, funded by the US Forest Service, and the grant came through the Georgia Tree Council and the Georgia Forestry Commission. The Town received $8,600 through the grant for the tree planting. Species planted included: Overcup Oak, Nuttall Oak, Bald Cypress, American Hornbeam, and Serviceberry.

Newborn Tree Board member Beryl Budd coordinated the project and selected the trees for planting from Jack’s Creek Farms and a contractor, Keel’s Farms, planted the trees.  Newborn Public Works and Newborn Tree Board members will mulch and water the trees as the Towns matching hours towards the grant. The trees were planted along streets to increase canopy, shade, and provide the many other benefits trees provide.

Additionally, as part of the grant funding, 200 three-gallon container trees will be purchased to give away to residents at the Town’s annual Arbor Day event on February 7th at the Newborn Historic Schoolhouse from 11-1 pm. The Town has also purchased Northern Red Oak seedlings to also give away while supplies last. Mansfield Market Place is providing lunch and there will be live music, tree climbing, fire prevention, and other activities as part of the annual Arbor Day celebration of trees.
