Are you looking for a fun outdoor activity for your family over break? The Elizabeth Taber Library, in collaboration with the Sippican Lands Trust, has the perfect challenge for you! How about trying to locate some “Champion Tree” species found in Marion’s open spaces?!
You simply head to the library, grab a pre-stocked loaner backpack and head out into the woods with your Sippican Lands Trust property map and the form explaining how to measure trees in order to nominate them. Please send all results to the Sippican Lands Trust office at 354 Front Street Marion, MA 02738. The data will be recorded and over time we will see how many champion trees of different species can be found and identified. Good luck hunting!
For more information, please contact Rosemary Grey, the Children’s Librarian at the Elizabeth Taber Library, at 508-748-1252 or Robin Shields, the Executive Director of the Sippican Lands Trust, at 508-748-3080 or info@sippicanlandstrust.org.
