Arbor Day Celebration: This Arbor Day celebration welcomes all to the Mapleton Preserve, the former home of Princeton Nurseries from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. Join Friends of Princeton Nursery Lands for both a guided tour of the Preserve and the official dedication of interpretive signs for the site. These new signs were developed by Friends of Princeton Nursery Lands, with the assistance of a project grant funded by the New Jersey Historical Commission. The interpretive panels will help visitors understand the historic and cultural significance of the site. The celebration continues with FPNL's traditional annual tree planting and demonstration. Light refreshments will follow and all visitors will receive FREE "baby trees" to take home and plant. The event, sponsored by the Friends of Princeton Nursery Lands will be held at the Mapleton Preserve, 145 Mapleton Road in Kingston. It is FREE and open to all.
