REMEMBER THIS ONE: “I THINK THAT I SHALL NEVER SEE A POEM AS LOVELY AS A TREE.”



We have a beautiful historic green buttonwood tree, 80-100 years old that will soon move from Steven Levin’s property on Lake Avenue, south of Bradley Park, to a prominent position in Bradley Park, with the Town Council’s approval.  It was once part of the Phipps Estate.

Mr. Levin will pay the $50,000 cost of moving the tree and five years of an estimated $2000 for tree maintenance. This lovely Park is undergoing beautification.  It is expected to be completed by November and includes a new entrance, four gardens, a gazebo overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway, a granite path and new restrooms. The park’s 2-foot Artemis statue also will be moved and its damaged figurine recast.
