Saugus Tree Committee
A volunteer board with 3 main goals:
* Maintain the Town Tree Farm
* Educate people about the importance of trees
* Continue an ongoing program of tree
replacement on Saugus streets
Saugus was first declared a "Tree City" by the National Arbor Day Foundation in 1998.
The town has always been known for its trees- the town seal features a tree in the background.
By maintaining the Tree Farm, we can ensure that public trees lost to disease and injury get
replaced at a minimal cost to the town.
Further information will be gladly given if you call
Time Hawkes (781) 233 - 6428 or Margery Hunter (781) 233 - 0349
Saugus Tree Farm Maintenance Day 
We are proud to have a tree farm in Saugus, which provides
a renewable resource for street tree replacement.
The Saugus Tree Farm is the creation of a volunteer effort and
Tree Farm Maintenance Day is a great opportunity to get close
to nature and prepare the Farm for winter. Saugus Action Volunteers
for the Environment (SAVE) will be on hand to help and would welcome and
appreciate additional help from the public. Bring yard tools and gloves.
Light refreshments provided.
Directions to the Saugus Tree Farm:
Central Street to Jasper Street
take a right onto Cross Street (the sign says "to Auburn Street")
Bear left onto Auburn Street.
The walk-through driveway is between 25 & 27 Auburn Street,
which is the Town right of way, to the Tree Farm.
You may park near 27 Auburn Street (Pioneer Sales Building)
then walk down the driveway to the right of the building, over
the railroad tracks and follow the dirt road to the tree farm.
You can also try to drive all the way down, though space is limited.
