The Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and the Environment has designated $22,000 for the continued establishment of the Forest Park Arboretum. The funding will help move this important initiative forward, and will enable the Arboretum team to accelerate the application proposal for the Class III arboretum designation.  The funds will be used for the development of a computerized database, continued training of Arboretum Assistants and other important components of the project.
