The Tree Advisory Committee (TAC) has selected their Greatest Tree Contest winners. The TAC selected the Village Cemetery tree nominated by Andy, Emma, and Jesse Lawrence as the first place winner, the Summit Street School tree nominated by Luisa Alvez-Georgeoglou as the second place winner, and the 35 Woods End Drive tree nominated by Celia Ekstrom as the third place winner. The winners were recognized at the TAC monthly meeting on October 17, 2023. The first-place winner received $100 donated by Northfield Savings Bank, and the runners-up received prizes donated by Brownell Library and the community. The Tree Advisory Committee received 15 nominations for this initial contest.
"Thank you to everyone who nominated a tree for our first Greatest Tree Contest," said Nicole Klett, Tree Advisory Committee member. "The Tree Advisory Committee would also like to thank Northfield Savings Bank and Brownell Library for sponsoring our contest and providing prizes for our winners."
The TAC Greatest Tree Contest encouraged residents to spend some time around the City studying our amazing trees and then choosing one to nominate as the City's greatest tree during September.
