      <image:title>News/Events - In the News: 250 Acorns to Oaks Project Takes Root - Planting for tomorrow.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Rye Sustainability Committee has launched the 250 Acorns to Oaks initiative, a community-driven effort to restore and expand the native oak population in Rye. Volunteers are collecting acorns from the city’s oldest oak trees and nurturing them into saplings for future planting on public and private properties. Councilmember and former Rye Sustainability Committee Chair James Ward is leading the project, inspired by the importance of oak trees as keystone species that support hundreds of other forms of life. The goal is to have 250 saplings adopted and planted by 2026 to coincide with the nation’s 250th anniversary. The initiative is a collaboration between the Rye Sustainability Committee, Friends of Rye Nature Center, the Little Garden Club of Rye, and the Rye Sustainability Foundation.

      <image:title>Initiative Pages - 250 Acorns to Oaks - Rooted in history. Growing for the future.</image:title>
      <image:caption>250 Acorns to Oaks is a community-driven initiative dedicated to restoring and expanding the native oak population across public and private properties in Rye. Spearheaded by Councilmember James Ward—former Chair of the Rye Sustainability Committee—this project brings individuals, students, and organizations together to plant the seeds of long-term ecological resilience. Would you like to adopt a Rye 250 Oak Sapling? We anticipate that they will be ready for pick-up in October 2025. Fill out the form below. Would you like to donate?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Initiative Pages - 250 Acorns to Oaks - Why Oaks?</image:title>
      <image:caption>These “keystone” trees are essential to our local ecosystem, supporting more than 450 species of insects, birds, and small mammals. By increasing the number of native oaks in our community, we are strengthening the foundation of Rye’s biodiversity for generations to come. In the fall of 2024, the initiative has began by collecting acorns from some of Rye’s oldest and most beloved oak trees. These acorns were sewed in the fall 2024 and the spring of 2025 in specially constructed air pruning beds located at Rye Nature Center, School of the Holy Child, and Rye Country Day School. The project aims to distribute one- to two-year-old saplings in 2026—marking the 250th anniversary of the United States. The goal? To have 250 saplings “adopted” and planted by homeowners and the City of Rye, with community members stewarding their growth over the next five years.</image:caption>
