Did you know "Huzzah!" was the battle cry of Revolutionary War soldiers — used by both American and British troops? It slowly evolved into "Hurrah," then "Hooray," the celebration word we use today.

Join Andover's celebration of America's 250th! Request your free lawn sign by e-mailing your address to [email protected]

Huzzah!

As part of Deep Roots, New Branches: Andover 250, the Town of Andover’s Tree Committee invites residents, families, students, neighborhoods, schools, and local organizations to help identify and celebrate Andover’s most important trees.

The goal of this initiative is to help find, document, and honor remarkable trees throughout Andover. An important tree may be especially old, large, rare, unusual, historic, beautiful, or meaningful to the community. These living landmarks connect Andover to its past, strengthen the local environment, and remind us why protecting and planting trees matters for future generations.

Nominated trees may be located in yards, neighborhoods, parks, school grounds, conservation land, or other accessible locations. Trees must be located in Andover, alive, and visible or accessible enough for volunteers to verify species, condition, and approximate size. Trees on private property may be nominated only with the property owner’s permission.

Nominations are now open and will be accepted through September 30. Learn more and submit an important tree at the link in the comments!
