To Date — 50 Trees Planted

Winfield Tree-alition planted it first tree on Veterans Day 2024 in Memorial Park. We are proud to report that we have now planted trees at locations including our schools, WNM Hospital, Southwestern College and our City’s entrances.

We think it will be fun to keep track of how many trees we add to our community. That total is now 50 trees. We are anxious to add more. Check back to track our progress.

Celebrating Winfield’s Christmas tree lighting

On November 16th the Tree-alition planted a new cypress tree near the entrance to Island Park close to the large welcoming Christmas tree that was lite for the opening of Isle of lights. The Tree-alition hopes you enjoy all the lights through this holiday season and the gift of this new tree for many years to come.

Have you noticed that some of the trees planted at Winfield’s North and South Entrances have died? 

It is not for lack of care.  The Winfield Tree-alition’s mission is to plant trees, and to provide education and care for them. When those trees were planted, there was a plan to monitor and provide regular watering for each tree.  The plan was followed but Mother Nature did not cooperate.   The very unusual wet weather brought a fungus that sadly killed some of the trees. 

Update: The trees were replaced under warranty. Now the colorful maples and oaks will continue to grow into a beautiful entry to our city.
