Saturday was a huge success! 🌳

A total of 18 native trees were planted, staked, mulched, and watered at West Lane Park, an incredible accomplishment made possible by our community.

The Harrodsburg Tree Board extends our sincere thanks to all the volunteers who came out and put in the work to make this project a success. Your effort is helping grow a healthier, greener Harrodsburg for years to come.

We would also like to recognize and thank our partners and supporters:

Harrodsburg City Council
LG&E–KU for funding through the Plant for the Planet grant
West Lane Park Board
City workers for preparing the planting sites
Norby’s for discounted supplies and delivery
Kentucky Division of Forestry
Tree City USA

This project is a great example of what can be accomplished when a community comes together.
