With great pleasure, the Committee reports that the project is on time and on budget, and it continues to receive excellent support from the community. The Club's partner in the project, The Committee of the Proprietors of the Common and Undivided Lands in New Haven, is happy with the project's progress and continues to provide us guidance and support.
Thanks to your loving foster care, 191 American elm seedlings are alive and well, and we eagerly await the re-emergence of green leaves. The young trees certainly were well hydrated over the winter!
Production of the documentary film about the history of the New Haven Green is underway, and we expect to hold the premiere in April, 2012. Standby for exciting announcements about the film.
Work is just now beginning on the development of a self-guided walking tour of the New Haven Green. You are invited to join us in this important and final component of the project. The Committee is exploring options about the form the tour will take, paper-based brochure and audio access, as well as tour content. Your ideas and expertise are most welcome and needed. Please contact a member of the Committee to volunteer.
To date, the following community supporters are involved in the project: The New Haven Museum and Historical Society, The CT Agricultural Experiment Station, Yale University, The New Haven Preservation Trust, The New Haven Parks Department, the Urban Resources Initiative, Whitneyville United Church of Christ, Hopkins School, Foote School, Common Ground High School, Cheshire Academy, Hamden Hall Day School, St. Thomas' Day School, Marsh Botanical Garden and the 20 GCA garden clubs in Zone II. When you see our supporters, please take the opportunity to thank them for joining us.
Debbie Edwards, for the Committee (Cordalie Benoit, Bonnie Byers, Karyl Evans, Judi Freudenburg, Mikey Hirschoff, Billie Ladd, Kathie Lundgren, and Rosita Murphy)
