Volunteers get busy planting trees around the border of the historical society’s event field.
The Milton Historical Society planted 17 trees Oct. 30 in the event field next to the Lydia Black Cannon Museum. The trees, all native to Delaware, are Baldcypress, Sweetbay Magnolia, Witch Hazel, Saucer Magnolia, Red Maple, Hackberry and Kousa Dogwood. The trees were purchased with a grant from the Delaware Forest Service Urban and Community Forestry Grant Program.
