Events include:

- Ceremonial Planting of “Community Beech”
- Refreshments
We will be installing about 20 trees at the Arbor Day Planting in Woonsocket. They are a nice assortment of shade, ornamental and evergreen trees. There are red oak and sugar maple, and flowering trees such as magnolia and the Japanese snowbell. We also will plant tall growing evergreens. They include the Dawn Redwood and Giant Arborvitae. The ceremonial tree will be a European Beech. It will become the centerpiece of the plantings. The planting site is a prominent spot at the intersection of Park Avenue and Smithfield Road. The land is public/privately owned. Public nearer the road, private and owned by Trinity Church toward the interior. We will be planting on both sectors.
​RI Tree Chair Doris Alberg says, "We are thrilled to be coming to Woonsocket for RI Arbor Day. It's a wonderful community with many fine historic buildings, restaurants and cultural centers. Come, join us as we plant a grove of shade trees to add to the city's beauty for everyone to enjoy.

Our goal: To build awareness about current justice issues (poverty, homelessness, immigration, etc.) and how we respond as Catholics living out our faith.  Social justice is a constitutive dimension of Catholic Christianity.
