MONROE — The town will celebrate the centennial of the passage of the arborist law with the ceremonial planting of a white oak tree 4 p.m. Sunday on the town green.
The ceremony and a commemorative plaque were arranged by David Solek, Monroe’s Park Ranger and Tree Warden.
Monroe’s first selectman, Ken Kellogg, and civic officials have been invited to participate.
The Connecticut Tree Protective Association, representing 800 members, 575 of them licensed arborists, donated the white oak to mark the passage of the Arborist Law in 1919, believed to be the first such legislation in the U.S.
Under the legislation, individuals who engage in commercial tree care need to be accredited by board certification.
Connecticut’s model has been adopted by other states such as New Jersey, Maryland, Rhode Island and New Hampshire.
