   HAMPTON FALLS, NEW HAMPSHIRE 
   LIBERTY TREE MEMORIAL

    

    In honor of its 300th anniversary (100) more Liberty Elms will be planted. "Celebrations come and
    go, we were interested in a project that would make a lasting impact," said Judy Wilson one of the
    organizers of the project. "We wanted something that was honoring our past, while planning the
    future," she said.


    The Liberty Elms will be planted on town roads and in residents' yards.  The town improvement
     committee will assist any resident with planting elms. "We need as many
 residents that are interested
     to get involved, " said Larry Smith, another organizer of the project. "If residents know of any space
     to plant an elm they are encouraged to reach out to the town as well.  We will plant anywhere we can
     find space."

 

     In 2012 the Liberty Elms, originally planted as  6 - 8 ft. tall trees, had already grown to heights of
     over 25 ft.
