Many of our residents, especially children, were deeply affected by the loss of so many beautiful trees in our community, notes Steve Meyer, director, Heller Nature Center. These efforts are made possible through the ReLeaf Program implemented last July by the Highland Park Environmental Commission in response to the storm. ReLeaf at Home gave residents a chance to buy replacement trees for their properties, taking advantage of volume pricing and free delivery offered by the city. Events will include children s activities, a tree-ring counting contest, a tree care demonstration and refreshments. The winner of the ring contest will have a tree planted in their honor during concluding ceremonies.
Admission is free.
