Trees for Troops

Kelly Whalen | November 22, 2019

The Trees for Troops program gets donated trees from farmers, businesses, and individuals throughout the country. The trees are donated to military bases around the country as well as to some bases overseas. The Rocks is the gathering point for VT and NH donations. Our own Nigel Manley has chaired the program for 10 years and currently sits on the board and is the acting Trees for Troops representative for NH and VT. Each year 5th graders from Bethlehem Elementary School use this program to learn about public outreach, raising money, writing tags for each tree, and helping load the trees.
