“Family Trees is one of the happiest and funnest events I know! Kids, holidays, and reading–what could be better? What an honor it is to be honorary chair of this wonderful event! I can’t wait to connect with all the families this year and hang out with the kids amid the beautiful, decorated trees–presided over by the surely-smiling spirits of Emerson and Thoreau.”

– Award-winning author and naturalist Sy Montgomery, Honorary Chair, Family Trees, 2022
