Stonehouse was in the spotlight on the international stage this week when CEO of the Arboricultural Association, John Parker, gave a talk at the World Forum on Urban Forests in Washington DC.
His talk – Stonehouse: Growing a town into an Arboretum – told conference delegates about the creation and management of Stonehouse Community Arboretum and the ultimate intention, in collaboration with Stonehouse Town Council, to create a diverse collection of trees, which are responsibly and sustainably planted to deliver a range of benefits to the community and encourage people to visit the town.
