In the spring of 2019, TD Bank announced the recipients of the TD Green Space awards (Market Watch). Clinton is one of ten US cities to receive a $20,000 grant. Clinton Canopy has partnered with the city to implement the grant in Martha Dendy Park. We developed a plan for tree plantings and traditional landscaping around three signage areas while Public Works developed a plan for storm water management by means of a large landscaped area known as a bioswale. Clinton High School Agriculture students gained hands-on experience as they learned proper planting techniques while planting 22 trees and 32 shrubs and ornamental grasses. During a neighborhood workday, held one Saturday, local citizens who live near the park came out to work and helped plant blueberries and a fig tree. All this work was concluded with an Arbor Day celebration on Friday, Nov. 1 at 10:00 when we planted an additional 4 Shumard oak trees.
