The Old Lyme Tree Commission will plant a descendant seedling of the legendary Charter Oak on the South Green to celebrate Arbor Day and the nation’s 250th anniversary.
Blooms, herbs and garden favorites will be available for purchase, and advice will be handed out for free, as the Lyme Grange hosts its annual plant sale rain or shine.
The state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection said the goal of the controlled burn is to restore the oak savanna habitat, which depends on fire to persist.
