This fall, we gathered under a canopy of sunshine

This fall, we gathered under a canopy of sunshine and community spirit for Oaks & Folks, a special event hosted by Hazel Crest Openlands. The day brought together neighbors, nature lovers, and tree enthusiasts to celebrate the ecological importance of oaks and the people who make stewarding these landscapes possible.

The Village of Hazel Crest, a suburban community of about 14,000 residents just south of Chicago, has long been a leader in ecological restoration and urban forestry. Through the Hazel Crest Open Lands, the Village has worked for decades to expand tree canopy diversity and create recreation opportunities for local residents. These green spaces don’t just offer beauty and shade, they play a vital role in reducing urban heat islands and mitigating flooding.

Thanks to the dedicated leadership of Karl Persons, the Open Lands have become a living example of what community forestry can achieve. Karl’s passion and perseverance have shaped the landscape and inspired countless volunteers along the way. His years of public service have left a legacy of care and connection that will continue to grow for generations!

Planting for the future. Back in August, we plant

Planting for the future.

Back in August, we planted a new round of 🌲 evergreens in the nursery. While they’ve been settling into their new home for a few weeks now, we’re just now sharing a peek at the process.

It’s always exciting to think ahead as we add these trees to our fields, knowing they’ll grow on over the coming seasons and one day become part of beautiful landscapes for years to come.

Every tree planted is a little piece of the future, and we can’t wait to see where these ones end up.
