We’re thrilled to share a heartwarming story of community generosity and environmental stewardship.

Bartlett Tree Experts of Hooksett, NH have generously committed to providing long-term, professional tree care for Celebration Park—at no cost. This extraordinary partnership ensures that the park’s memorial trees and shrubs will thrive for generations to come.

The Celebration Park, located next to the Hobbs Community Center at 8 Nashua Road, was created to be more than just a green space—it’s a living tribute to Pelham’s values of inclusivity, wellness, sustainability, and remembrance. The park features shaded seating, picnic areas, and accessible pathways, all surrounded by a carefully curated landscape of ornamental trees, native shrubs and pollinator-friendly plantings.

From graceful Japanese Maples and fragrant Magnolias to elegant Tree Lilacs and stately Spruces, each tree has been selected not just for beauty but for its role in creating an age-friendly, nature-rich gathering place for residents of all ages and abilities. Many trees were planted as living memorials—tributes to loved ones and community members who have left a lasting mark on Pelham.

But as with any living landscape, the health of these trees requires vigilant care. This past year, six memorial trees had to be replaced due to environmental stress, underscoring the challenges of maintaining ornamental trees in the face of extreme weather, compacted soils, and pest pressures.

That’s when Bartlett Tree Experts stepped in with an extraordinary gift: a commitment to ongoing, professional care of the park’s trees—offered in perpetuity. Their services will include:

• Comprehensive soil treatments to support root health and vigor
• Seasonal inspections and health monitoring
• Expert pruning and care by certified arborists
• Proactive solutions to pest and disease issues

This is more than just a service—it’s a legacy. With Bartlett’s expertise and commitment, Celebration Park’s trees will have the best chance to mature, flourish, and continue offering shade, color, and habitat for decades to come.

We are deeply grateful to Bartlett Tree Experts for their vision and generosity. Their donation reflects a powerful belief in the importance of green public spaces and the role they play in community wellness and environmental resilience.

Please join us in thanking Bartlett Tree Experts of Hooksett for their long-term investment in Pelham. Their contribution stands as a model of public-private partnership, and a reminder that when we come together to care for shared spaces, the whole community blossoms.
