Scott Wheeler, Building and Grounds Supervisor/Tree Warden for City of Newport, stopped by The Open Forum on Tuesday, January 26th to discuss Newport Open Space Partnership, Newport Arboretum, the ongoing project to install an elevator at Newport City Hall and much more.

Wheeler joined me from approximately 12:45pm  – 1:30pm, other topics on the show today were yesterday’s Bone Marrow Drive and the topics and news stories of the day.
