10th Anniversary Celebration at the Agroforestry Resource Center

On Friday, May 19, old friends and new friends, partners, supporters, volunteers and officials, gathered at the Agroforestry Resource Center to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the opening of the facility. Marilyn Wyman spoke about how the center was conceived more than 10 years ago, the programs offered, progress made to date and plans for the future. Assembly Peter Lopez recognized the Center with a citation from the State of New York, presented by Frank Dixson, Legislative Aid. The occasion concluded with a tree planting ceremony in the Siuslaw Model Forest by the Greene County 4-H Teen Ambassadors. It was a wonderful afternoon!
