Park District Announces 2012 Arbor Day Program

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill. – Residents are invited to attend a tree planting hosted by the Downers Grove Park District at Patriot’s Park on Friday, April 27 at 12:30 pm, in honor of Arbor Day.  Two first grade classes from Whittier Elementary School, who participated in the Little Sprouts program at Lyman Woods in October 2011, will plant two Swamp White Oak trees in the park during the demonstration.
