ABOUT TREEage and the TREEage Community Nursery:
With guidance of Craig Lambert, SB’s City Arborist, TREEage Volunteers manage the nursery and help to maintain young city trees. When ready, our VT trees will grow along city streets, parks or other city owned property. They offer many financial, environmental and aesthetic benefits to the residents of South Burlington.
