During the Corrida del Mariachi 5k, we definitely observed that spectators were clustered around the trees along the route — in those places that offered shade.

We are out here at the Corrida del Mariachi vendor row on Wesley Avenue between 16th and 18th Streets, Berwyn, Illinois. Come and see us! We are helping homeowners request free parkway trees from the City and getting signatures for our petition calling for proactive tree planting.

We got 22 native trees and shrubs planted on the grounds, and we planted a native garden at the corner of 14th of Wesley.

The newly planted tree in Lesak Park is a dawn redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides).

Happy #ArborDay!

There was a great little Arbor Day celebratory tree planting this morning in Berwyn, Illinois with the City Public Works Department, Berwyn Township, and enthusiastic kids from Hiawatha School with great questions for the city arborist Nicholas Peterson.

Some of our members presented the Mayor with an oak tree sapling and addressed City Council in the public forum during last night's meeting. We provided this letter, map, and list of planting locations. www.youtube.com/live/F280oag...

The annual blossoms of this lily magnolia in central Berwyn are always such a welcome site after a grey winter. The smells reach across and down the block.
