Mass. Tree Wardens meet and plant a tree in Malden

Special to The Advocate

Last week the City of Malden hosted the Massachusetts Tree Wardens and Foresters Association’s monthly meeting in Malden for the first time. Following their meeting the group had lunch at a Malden restaurant and then planted a celebratory tree at Forest Dale Cemetery. The meeting commemorated Malden Cemetery Director Chris Rosa’s 2024 Massachusetts Tree Warden of the Year award at the Massachusetts Tree Wardens and Foresters Association’s Annual Conference held in Sturbridge, Mass.

Mayor Gary Christenson attended the meeting and was pleased to learn that Chris received the most nominations for the award in the history of the award and is also the first Tree Warden from the City of Malden to sit on the Board of Directors for the Massachusetts Tree Wardens and Foresters Association.
