A New Jersey couple spent more than 40 years protecting their 90-acre property from development; after ultimately giving away the entire estate, the land is now a free public preserve with a 201-year-old tree Monmouth County residents have recently received a wonderful gift, one that is going to make the coming autumn a season worth looking forward to. The 90-acre Scudder Preserve, in the Navesink section of Middletown, was officially accredited in July as a Level I Arboretum by ArbNet.

Congratulations to the Weston Community Arboretum, UK on their recent ArbNet accreditation!

International accreditation for Weston-super-Mare's trees 🌳 💚

Weston's trees and green spaces are being celebrated after the Weston Tree and Plant Group successfully secured international accreditation for the town’s new Community Arboretum.

The Weston Tree and Plant Group – made up of North Somerset Council, Weston-super-Mare Town Council, Weston-super-Mare Civic Society, local interest groups and community volunteers – has achieved accreditation through ArbNet, the international network dedicated to supporting arboreta and tree-focused professionals around the world.

The accreditation recognises the newly established Weston Community Arboretum. This project showcases and promotes the town's 59 most significant individual trees and groups of trees within green spaces within a four-mile radius.

Locations including Clarence Park West, home to its distinctive windswept London Plane trees (see photo 📷 ), and Milton Cemetery, with its diverse collection of trees and wildflowers, are among the sites that help tell the story of the town's natural heritage.

The Weston Community Arboretum has grown from the group's passion for highlighting the rich variety of trees found across Weston. Created not only as a record of the town's trees, it provides an educational and inspirational resource for residents and visitors alike, while encouraging people to value, protect and plant trees for future generations.

The Weston Tree and Plant Group hopes the project will encourage more residents to get involved in local tree planting initiatives and consider planting appropriate tree species in their own gardens and communities 🫶
