Did you know Delaware has two arboretums? Arboretums are composed areas of trees and shrubs for the purpose of education and to serve as a living museum.

The first arboretum is a majority of the academic side of the Ohio Wesleyan Unuversity campus. The second is Oak Grove Cemetery. Both have a variety of trees both native and non-native. They are open and free to the public.

On this Arbor Day, if you can't plant a tree today, go visit one of these spaces and experience the trees.

On this Earth Day, find an activity that you can do to help support our blue marble. Some ideas:

🌎 Pick up trash in your neighborhood
🌎 Plant a pollinator garden or pot
🌎 Spend time in your local park
🌎 Plant a tree (Arbor Day is Friday)
🌎 Learn about native plants in your region and make a plan to incorporate them into your garden
🌎 Plant a veggie garden or pot and eat more seasonally

Let's carry the joy we all felt watching the Artemis II Mission to the moon and do something to help the earth continue to support us so we can continue to thrive!

Please join us for Paragraphs for Patriots!

Members of our chapter have worked over the last couple years to find and document the grave sites of the many Revolutionary War Patriots who settled in Delaware County and established the city.

On Saturday, May 9, join us and the City of Delaware Parks & Rec department for a tour of patriot graves in Oak Grove Cemetery. Along the walking tour, you will learn about the patriots and their contributions to the city through readings of paragraphs written by our members.

The event starts at 10 am, is free and open to the public.
