On June 1, 2023, the LGBTQIA2S+ Allies of Windsor in partnership with the Vermont Urban and Community Forestry Program and the Vermont Division for Historic Preservation, dedicated a flowering cherry planted at the Old Constitution House State Historic Site as a “LGBTQ+ Pride Tree”. The project celebrated eight months of planning among the partners and aligns with the State of Vermont’s commitment to building on local, state, and national efforts to advance equity and social justice for all people.
Prior to the tree dedication, a public reading of the local Pride Proclamation for the Town of Windsor, including an intersex-inclusive progress pride flag raising, took place at the Windsor Municipal Building. Participants then joined a Pride March to the Old Constitution House State Historic Site for the tree dedication.
