| An Apple Tree for Arbor Day! |
In honor of Arbor Day, Matt Natti, owner of Cape Ann Tree Service, donated and planted a lovely Honeycrisp apple tree at Greenbelt's Cox Reservation in Essex. We're delighted with this generous gift that will be enjoyed for years to come! Many thanks to Matt and Cape Ann Tree Service, and to Martha Sanders for this beautiful video tribute.

| Enjoy Our Trails Safely |
Visiting Greenbelt's reservations during this COVID-19 crisis is therapeutic for many, relieving stress and providing opportunities for exercise. Please be safe on our properties: stay at least 6 feet away from others, come back another time if it is busy, and keep your dogs leashed at all times. Thank you!
