Program Description
Event Details
The Oak Park Public Library and Trinity Pierce invite you for an afternoon hour of tree appreciation. We’ll learn about the trees in our neighborhood, the economic, environmental, and health benefits of trees, and ways to support green spaces. Additionally, we'll take care of our own well-being as we listen and then stroll outside in Scoville Park, home to a diverse collection of trees.
