Outer Cape Calendar
Four Memorial Trees
Last week, Margaret Murphy and Trees Provincetown, with the help of Ken MacPhee of Bartlett Tree Experts, planted a paperbark maple at the Provincetown Theater in honor of playwright Terrence McNally, who received an award here last year and died of Covid-19 in March. Trees Provincetown also planted three black tupelo trees in the B-Street Garden. One of those trees was funded by a seasonal resident in memory of his brother, who died at a young age, and the other two are still available as memorials to a loved one. Interested donors should email [email protected].
