In 2024-2025, the West Chicago Park District, with the support of a grant from Trees Forever, will enhance three local parks—Cornerstone Lakes Park, Meadow Wood Park, and Dyer Riverwoods Park—by planting 12 new tree species, including Autumn Blaze Maple, Burr Oak, and Hornbeam.
This initiative, focused on increasing tree diversity and improving ecosystem health, will also beautify public spaces. Volunteers, including community leaders, will play a key role in the project, participating in a family-friendly event with tree planting, arts, crafts, and storytelling. This Trees Forever-funded effort will help foster a vibrant, inclusive community, and a healthier urban forest for generations to come.
Join us on May 2nd for a volunteer tree planting event. Supplies and trees will be provided! All ages are welcome. Date is subject to change depending on the weather and availability of trees. To sign up, email us at [email protected].
