Annual Meeting

Thanksgiving tree planting

The TWAC Annual Meeting is held each year in March. This is a time for the election of officers and the recognition of the recent Tree Warden School graduates. This fun social event is an opportunity to update our membership and network with colleagues. 


Each year the Tree Wardens' Association of Connecticut selects a community to be the recipient of the "Thanksgiving Tree". The donated tree is planted in a different town and county from year to year in a location of significance. This gift is the Association’s way to say thank you to all our Towns’  for all that we as Tree Wardens have received throughout the year.  Additionally, this gift helps us to educate the public as to the mission of the Tree Wardens' Association and our responsibilities working for the municipalities that we serve. Communities that wish to be considered for the next Thanksgiving Tree Planting should contact info@cttreewardens.org.
