The tree planting kickoff workday was a huge success! Volunteers joined Kendall County Forest Preserve staff to plant several dozen native oak, hickory, hazelnut, elderberry, and buckeye trees at Harris Forest Preserve.

While the trees are small now, they will one day provide habitat and food for hundreds of birds, mammals, and insects.
