ReLeaf Erie County

Some of the new trees planted along Seven-Mile Creek.

We have become part of some very exciting news in Erie County--the ReLeaf program sponsored by the Lake Erie Arboretum--located at Frontier Park for you knowers-of-Erie.

The ReLeaf program is an effort to plant 275,000 trees, one for each citizen of the County. Our Glinodo property is becoming a temporary tree nursery this month as over 150-200 trees will be nurtured along our creek and on a protected area of Glinodo until they can be transplanted to their permanent home in a couple of years. A number of our sisters have already helped in the planting, with the second planting day to come at the end of this month. 

My Dad told me that one of Erie's nicknames, when he was growing up, was City of Trees. If you've looked down whenever flying into Erie in spring, summer or fall, you know that this is true. It will be even more so now thanks to ReLeaf.
