Why are oaks so important? What is the connection between the tree and the name of our village? Come and find out at our next meeting with two esteemed experts.
Lindsay Darling, a researcher from Morton Arboretum, will co-present with Kathryn Jonas on two important local projects focused on oak trees. Both Lindsay and Kathryn are very involved in The Oak Recovery Project whose goal is to work with groups in the Chicago region to preserve and enlarge oak forest habitats.
In addition, to be discussed is the application for Arboretum Designation by the Oak Park Park District and the Village of Oak Park.
Program is FREE and open to the public. No RSVP required.
