GRIFTON, N.C. (WITN) – Two organizations hosted a dedication ceremony on A Time For Science grounds on Wednesday.

Last weekend, volunteers planted 300 trees at the America 250 Patriot Grove to honor past and present veterans

“This grove is going to honor the patriots who’ve really formed the history out here in Eastern North Carolina as well as recognize the Native Americans as well who are an important part of the American story,” said Brian Baker, the A Time for Science Deputy Director.

Trees in the grove include black gum, nuttall oak, willow oak, and cypress.

A Time for Science teamed up with the Daughters of the American Revolution for this project.
