Trees are hardy and long-lived, but especially in an urban environment, they need care in order to thrive. For 30 years, Openlands, a Chicago area conservation group, has operated its TreeKeepers program to teach people about trees and tree stewardship. To date, TreeKeepers has trained more than 2,200 people to care for trees by planting, mulching and pruning, leading tree walks and advocating for trees. Wilmette is about to start its own TreeKeepers chapter, so join us to learn more about it! On April 27, 2021, TreeKeepers Program Manager Al DeRue will teach us about the program, what participants will learn and do, and how TreeKeepers adapts to the needs of different communities.
