Calling for community volunteers!

Join in supporting local forestry efforts by participating in a tree planting day at North Chicago’s City Hall! In partnership with Lake County and the City of North Chicago, Delta Institute is hosting a tree planting day to support local beautification and ecological enhancements in the community. Be a part of the event to help plant new trees in the community as well as learn from professionals at Johnson’s Nursery about tree planting best management practices.

This partnership is part of a broader, overarching effort to develop a regional “Tree Planting Consortium” that supports tree canopy restoration activities, community engagement, and partner capacity-building across Lake County, Illinois; Kenosha County, Wisconsin; and Racine County, Wisconsin.

Date: Thursday, October 29
Time: Begins at 11:00am. Plantings will take approximately 1-2 hours.
Venue: North Chicago City Hall
