In recognition of Arbor Day and Town of Branford, CT's 16th year as a Tree City USA, the Public Works Department was honored to plant an elm tree outside of Blackstone Library! We were joined by members of the James Blackstone Memorial Library, the Green Committee, the Community Forest Commission AND our guest of honor, Coco from Dan Cosgrove Animal Shelter who is the sweetest, snuffliest, goofball we've ever met! It is so very hard to believe she is still up for adoption. She has an easy-going, goofy disposition and seeks pets and love from everyone she meets. If you think Coco might be the perfect friend for you, fill out and application and reach out to Dan Cosgrove Animal Shelter!

Thank you to all involved in our celebration! Spring planting is officially underway!
