The 400 Trees Project
What is the 400 Trees Project?  400 Trees is a three-part Gloucester 400+ sustainability program offered by Biomimicry New England*(BNE) in collaboration with Gloucester DPW and jointly sponsored by BNE & Cape Ann Elms. Additional sponsors include 100 Trees of Gloucester and Boston, and WT Rich of Beverly.
The program combines history, environmental stewardship, experiential education and community engagement as a living legacy to this and future generations.  400 Trees will:(1) plant 400 native trees in Gloucester during 2023-2024, (2) identify the city’s 400 oldest trees, and (3) conduct an educational program on the value of trees.
How can I help? Trees will be provided free to anyone in Gloucester that is interested in planting a tree on their property and agrees to water the tree once a week.
How can I learn more about native trees ?400 Trees will offer educational programs for adults and children on the advantages of native trees —including the enhanced ecosystem services they provide. These programs will be based at the Sawyer Free Library and are offered in collaboration with the Library and the Cape Ann YMCA.
For more information about this program, to donate funds for a tree, or to become a sponsor please email 400treesgloucester@gmail.com

I love this photo of Finn and a fish he caught pond fishing the other day. His buddy, Ryan Tarr took it and it couldn’t be more perfect. Nice fish, Finn….and awesome photo, Ryan!

Here’s a little review of some of the pictures that didn’t make the blog posts but I still think show the spirit of the weekend, at least up through Sunday’s procession. It was an outstanding event! I appreciate the hard work and long hours spent by so many to put these events together. Well done once again!

Please leave a comment if you’re a local female golfer of any skill level. There will be prizes!!!

Stay tuned but we are going to have a Golf putting tournament Saturday morning. Details to follow but be assured there will be bloody Mary’s and mimosas available. Who is in? There will be prizes that I’ll donate and I’ll be debuting my new line of Gloucester Golf quarter zips for women in women sizes. Who’s in?

Slice Of Slice, Fink writes: “Slice is a tribute to Americana as well as my friend Jasper Johns and his recent painting of the same name in his retrospective at the Whitney, which depicts his vision of a slice of the universe.” The scale of the painting (60×84-inches) emphasizes the significance of the watermelon in both art history and cultural history. Also on view will be a number of smaller paintings on paper from the Slice series, and a limited Edition print. A selection of works from the exhibition can be viewed at: https://www.janedeeringgallery.com/aaron-fink-slice .
