The Holcomb Tree Trail is a small arboretum on the Town-owned, 312-acre Holcomb Farm in West Granby. Volunteers planted its first 16 trees in October 2018. Some of those trees, including a Princeton Elm, are now more than 15 feet tall. Planting has continued, with the total plantings now numbering about 80 trees. One of the design principles has been to plant trees with spring blooms or fall color or both.
To commemorate the recognition and at the same time celebrate Arbor Day, about 40 UND students, administrators, faculty and staff members gathered on the lawn near the Hopper Danley Spiritual Center on Wednesday afternoon, May 11.
