Mr. Healy, Last fall I conferred with John Bouchard about planting some new trees in
the COVID Commemorative Grove that Croton Rotary Sponsors on the Croton
Landing Riverwalk. We agreed that adding a couple of redbud trees among the six
current dogwoods could enhance the installation. Redbuds, like the dogwoods, are
early bloomers but also have showy fall foliage that the dogwoods lack. After
conferring with one of the experts at Rosedale Nursery, who confirmed the
compatibility of redbuds with the existing installation, the Rotary Club proposes to add
two redbuds to the grove, purchasing the trees and handling their installation, in
consultation with the DPW. If the Village approves this request, we would like to
proceed over the next several weeks. Thank you for your consideration. Rob Abbot
