The candidate page’s section headed “Our family chose Cornwall. Then Cornwall became home.” says: “Our family relocated to Cornwall in 2001. We chose this town because it represented what we believed a community should be: tree-lined streets, welcoming neighborhoods, outdoor spaces, good schools, and friendly people. We did not know a single person here when we arrived. That did not take long to change.”

Schembari is the owner of CGL Arbor services, Cornwall’s tree warden, and a member of the Cornwall Conservation Advisory Council. He’s also a certified pesticide applicator, who has extensive experience in dealing with invasive plants and invasive insects.

He’s looking forward to the evening, for a couple of reasons. One, he loves his community and is happy to help it thrive, but, two, many don’t realize that he also spent part of his career as a teacher. “I was in the tree care industry, and then I left for eight years and taught secondary science. I went back to the tree industry, but I still love teaching. Every day when I get to meet with a client or potential client, a homeowner, or a landowner, I see that as a mini teaching opportunity. So public outreach and presentations like this … I love doing.”
