Hillside Cemetery Receives Elizabeth Craig Award for the Environment

We are honored that Wilton Go Green has presented Hillside Cemetery with the Elizabeth Craig Award for the Environment, recognizing our work in establishing Hillside as a certified Level I Arboretum. This award, named in memory of Elizabeth Craig—a passionate environmental advocate, Master Gardener, Arborist, and co-founder of the Pollinator Pathway—acknowledges our commitment to sustainable land use, native plantings, and creating a welcoming green space for the Wilton community.

"Hillside Cemetery’s transformation into an arboretum beautifully reflects the values Liz championed -respect for nature, community engagement, and long-term environmental stewardship," said Tammy Thornton, President of Wilton Go Green. "We’re proud to honor their vision and leadership with this award."
