The Holiday Ornament Tree at Roberts Field celebrates the great diversity of wild birds at the Chelmsford Park, with handmade wooden ornaments in the shape of birds commonly found at the Park including robins, nuthatches, herons, woodpeckers, phoebes, chickadees and more. The ornaments were hand painted by volunteers of all ages and will be on display through the holiday season and new year.
A limited number of blank ornaments are available at the Park, and can be found in the yellow box mounted on the trail head map kiosk behind the fire station on Old Westford Road. Park users are encouraged to decorate an ornament, sign it and hang it on the tree. The ornaments can be picked up after January 1st and before January 8th.
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
