Arbor Day Celebration!
Join Us for Our 3rd Annual...
When: Saturday April 26th, 2025 | 10:00AM-3:00PM
Where: Dow Road Sandwich, NH 03227
This is an open-house-style event, meaning you can come and go as needed! Volunteers can jump into potting trees at any time, enjoy live music, explore the river trail, and take part in a variety of family friendly activities throughout the day.
Why: Every spring, ReTreeUS receives hundreds of bare-root fruit trees that need to be potted and cared for throughout the summer. These trees will eventually find homes in school and community orchards - This is no small task, which is why we’re calling on our friends, family, and neighbors to lend a hand and make this possible!This is a true community effort, and we are deeply grateful for everyone who joins in to help make it happen.

-
Pot Bare-Root Trees – Help pot up 350 large fruit trees and 700 small fruit and nut trees to establish the 2025 ReTreeUS Fruit Tree Nursery.
