We had a great event! Thank you to everyone that helped ❤️❤️❤️ Special thanks to Arwin, Mara, Barbara, the Hadley Girl Scouts, our new HES Cheerleaders and to the town employees that took their Sunday to help with this event.

We would like to invite friends, family and the community to gather for this event. Wanczyk Evergreen Nursery has generously donated four large trees to replace four trees that were dead and removed. We will be honoring members of our community with a small ceremony and placing plaques at the base of the trees. Our Girl Scouts and Hadley Elementary School's very first cheerleading team will be there to assist with the planting. Refreshments will be provided by Esselon Coffee Roasting We look forward to seeing you there.

We had a pretty rough storm last night in Hadley and suffered from power outages and fallen trees. The community did a great job of reporting dangerous downed trees to Fire and Police. We also want to thank the DPW for their quick response and clean up. The trees that you see on town property that have been cut into pieces by the town are up for grabs to the community and reduces our cost to the tax payers for tree removal. -Hadley STC

It is fall and it’s beautiful in Hadley. We love our community and we love our trees! Our committee has been resurrected and we are looking forward to educating the community, getting our hands dirty and getting some new growth in our community.

Watch this page for community events and programs.

We are moving forward as a committee and meeting at least once a month. Feel free to email us, message us, or call us regarding your public shade trees or trees that fall under our local ordinances. To make a donation please contact us. Thank you. - Hadley STC
