Greenwich Tree Conservancy Holds 'Awesome Tree' Contest

From the Greenwich Tree Conservancy.

In the coming weeks, before the leaves start to fall, look around you and appreciate the abundant trees of our town. Whether on private or public property, we in Greenwich are so fortunate to live here surrounded by Mother Nature’s gifts. So, if you like to photograph trees, as many of us do, then take your smartphone or digital camera outside and click away.

This year the contest features four different categories of trees: the best photo of a sculptural form, the best photo of photogenic leaves or a leaf, the best photo of a heroic tree (one that has survived storms, infestations, etc) and also your favorite tale-inspired tree.

Entry forms are available online at www. greenwichtreeconservancy.org or at any of our participating sponsors listed below. The deadline for submitting entry forms is October 20th and prizes will be awarded for all winning entries on Sunday, November 9th at 3:00 PM at the Garden Education Center on Bible Street in Cos Cob.

For more information, call 203-869-1464 or email : treeconserv@optonline.net

Contest participating sponsors are the Town of Greenwich, Garden Education Center, Bruce Museum, Audubon Greenwich, Greenwich Land Trust, Greenwich Green & Clean, Greenwich Libraries & Perrot Library.
