As the world becomes increasingly aware of the pressing need for environmental conservation, individuals and industries alike are seeking sustainable solutions in every aspect of their lives. One such area is roofing, where innovative technologies and materials are emerging that not only provide shelter but also contribute to a greener planet. In this blog, we will explore various roofing options that not only save energy and reduce waste but also help mitigate the impact on the environment. So, let's dive into the world of sustainable roofing and discover how we can make a difference, one shingle at a time.
1. Cool Roofs:
Cool roofs represent a simple yet effective means of reducing energy consumption and combating the urban heat island effect. These roofs are designed to reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat than traditional roofs. By using reflective materials or coatings, cool roofs can significantly lower surface temperatures, decreasing the need for air conditioning and reducing energy demand during hot summer months. This, in turn, helps lower greenhouse gas emissions and mitigates the urban heat island effect, making cool roofs an excellent option for energy-efficient and environmentally friendly roofing.
2. Green Roofs:
Green roofs, also known as living roofs or eco-roofs, are a remarkable way to transform traditional rooftops into thriving green spaces. These roofs are covered with a layer of vegetation, including grass, plants, and even trees, which provide a multitude of environmental benefits. Green roofs act as natural insulators, reducing energy consumption by keeping the building cooler in summer and warmer in winter. They also absorb rainwater, reducing stormwater runoff and the strain on drainage systems. Additionally, green roofs improve air quality by filtering pollutants and carbon dioxide, while producing oxygen. These aesthetically pleasing and environmentally conscious roofs contribute to biodiversity, create urban habitats for wildlife, and enhance the overall quality of life in urban areas.
3. Solar Roofs:
Harnessing the power of the sun, solar roofs have gained immense popularity in recent years due to their renewable energy generation capabilities. Solar panels, integrated into the roofing system, capture sunlight and convert it into electricity, providing a sustainable energy source for homes and businesses. By using solar roofs, individuals can significantly reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and decrease their carbon footprint. Moreover, the excess energy generated by solar panels can be fed back into the grid, further promoting the use of renewable energy sources and contributing to a cleaner environment.
4. Recycled and Sustainable Materials:
Traditional roofing materials, such as asphalt shingles, contribute to landfill waste and pollution. However, eco-friendly alternatives are emerging that utilize recycled and sustainable materials. For example, recycled metal roofs made from salvaged steel or aluminum are not only durable and long-lasting but also highly recyclable at the end of their lifespan. Similarly, composite shingles made from recycled plastic, rubber, and wood fibers offer the appearance of traditional roofing materials while reducing environmental impact. By opting for these eco-conscious options, homeowners can contribute to waste reduction and promote the circular economy.
Rainwater Harvesting Systems
Water, one of our most precious resources, is facing increasing scarcity in many regions around the world. As we strive for a more sustainable future, it becomes crucial to explore alternative ways to meet our water needs. One such solution is rainwater harvesting systems, which allow us to harness and utilize nature's gifts for various purposes. In this blog, we will delve into the concept of rainwater harvesting, its benefits, and how it can contribute to sustainable living.
1. How Rainwater Harvesting Systems Work
Rainwater harvesting systems collect and store rainwater from rooftops or other surfaces for later use. The process typically involves the following components:
a. Catchment Surface: The catchment surface, usually the roof of a building, collects rainfall and directs it towards the harvesting system.
b. Gutters and Downspouts: Gutters and downspouts are used to channel rainwater from the roof into storage tanks or cisterns.
c. Filtration: Filtration systems remove debris, leaves, and other contaminants from the collected rainwater, ensuring its quality.
d. Storage Tanks or Cisterns: Rainwater is stored in tanks or cisterns for future use. These containers can be above ground, underground, or even integrated into the building's design.
e. Distribution System: A distribution system, including pumps and pipes, allows the stored rainwater to be used for various purposes.
2. Benefits of Rainwater Harvesting Systems:
Rainwater harvesting systems offer numerous benefits, both for individuals and the environment:
a. Water Conservation: By collecting rainwater, we can reduce our reliance on traditional water sources, such as groundwater or municipal supplies. This helps to conserve water resources and alleviate the strain on local water systems.
b. Cost Savings: Harvesting rainwater can lead to significant cost savings, particularly in areas where water bills are high or in regions prone to drought. Using rainwater for non-potable purposes like irrigation, toilet flushing, and washing can significantly reduce water bills over time.
c. Sustainability: Rainwater harvesting promotes sustainable living by utilizing a renewable resources. It reduces the carbon footprint associated with water treatment and transportation, as well as the energy consumption required for pumping water from distant sources.
d. Flood Mitigation: Collecting rainwater can help mitigate flooding by reducing stormwater runoff. By capturing rainfall on-site, rainwater harvesting systems alleviate the burden on drainage systems and help prevent soil erosion.
e. Improved Water Quality: When properly designed and maintained, rainwater harvesting systems can provide high-quality water for various uses. Filtration systems remove debris and contaminants, resulting in cleaner water that can be suitable for irrigation or other non-potable purposes.
3. Application and Maintenance:
Rainwater harvested through these systems can be used for a wide range of non-potable purposes, including:
a. Irrigation: Watering gardens, lawns, and plants using harvested rainwater can help nurture plant life while conserving valuable drinking water supplies.
b. Toilet Flushing: Rainwater can be used for toilet flushing, reducing the demand for potable water.
c. Laundry and Cleaning: Harvested rainwater can be utilized for laundry and general cleaning purposes, minimizing the consumption of treated water.
d. Car Washing: Using rainwater for washing vehicles reduces the use of municipal water, conserving resources.
Rainwater harvesting systems can also contribute to fire protection, especially in areas prone to wildfires or where access to a reliable water supply for firefighting is limited. By having a dedicated storage tank for fire protection purposes, rainwater can be readily available to help suppress fires in emergency situations. This can be of significant value in rural areas or properties located far from fire hydrants or fire stations.
To ensure the effectiveness of rainwater systems for fire protection, it's important to consider the following:
a. Design and Capacity: The storage tank dedicated to fire protection should be appropriately sized to accommodate the water needed for firefighting. It should comply with local fire safety regulations and standards.
b. Pumping System: A reliable pumping system is essential to deliver the harvested rainwater to firefighting equipment, such as hoses or sprinklers. The system should be regularly inspected and well-maintained to ensure proper functionality when needed.
c. Fire Safety Infrastructure: In addition to rainwater harvesting systems, it's important to have appropriate fire safety infrastructure in place, including fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and fire alarms. These measures work in conjunction with rainwater storage to enhance overall fire safety.
d. Regular Maintenance: Regular maintenance of the rainwater harvesting system is crucial to ensure its optimal performance during emergencies. This includes inspecting and cleaning gutters, downspouts, and filtration systems, as well as periodically testing the pumping equipment. It's worth noting that rainwater harvested for fire protection purposes may require additional treatment or filtration to meet specific firefighting requirements. Collaborating with local fire authorities and professionals can help ensure that the rainwater system is designed and maintained according to local regulations and safety standards.


We plan under regulated conditions.
By the term "regulated conditions" we mean that all influencing variables that have an impact on the quality of planning are known and can be controlled and structured accordingly.
For us, structured and well thought-out planning has a simple result: the implementation of an efficient building.
The conceptual consideration of buildings takes place both on the urban development and architectural level. In terms of urban development, our buildings fit into the urban landscape that has grown over time. Architecturally, however, they are individual buildings that combine the most diverse aspects in a coherent solution, planned as elaborately as necessary and at the same time as simply as possible.
For us, a project is successful not only when it is aesthetically, functionally, economically and technically coherent, but above all when it is accepted by the users and integrated into their life story.


The old gardens of the former Hotel Metropole, now Municipal Offices, have evolved into one of the most beloved parks by locals and visitors.
Surrounded by palm trees, this is a meeting point for sports people and other citizens who find here their green place inside the city. Just a few metres fom the gardens of Santa Catalina Hotel, the Parque Doramas, Pueblo Canario, and the City Marina, this park is the ideal place for those people who love to keep fit and run, thanks to its one kilometre-long track.
There is even a climbing area with a natural massive boulder where local climbers love to perfect theirs technique.
Dogs are welcome in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. In this park they have their place in a specifically designed area for them.

Rain gardens, sometimes called bioretention facilities, are shallow depressions with an absorbent soil medium, a mulch layer, and native grasses, shrubs, and trees that soak up stormwater from downspouts or impervious surfaces on a property. Rain gardens allow water to slowly soak into the ground rather than run off into streams and creeks. A rain garden is easy to maintain and helps to:
- Reduce pollution and erosion of local streams and rivers
- Improve the aesthetics of a community
- Replenish groundwater supplies
- Prevent flooding
- Provide habitat for wildlife.

Franklin, New Hampshire will soon be home to New England’s first whitewater park.
On Monday, a groundbreaking ceremony started construction of the eagerly anticipated Mill City Park at Franklin Falls. WMUR reports that excavation will begin today to start a swift process to open the park to the public in September. In spite of the rainy groundbreaking conditions, a large crowd showed up to celebrate the occasion that could revitalize the largely abandoned town of Franklin. The center of town is located next to the imposing Winnepasaukee River though, so it has always had the potential to be a haven for outdoorsy tourists. Some of the features that the park will include are an amphitheater, new whitewater features for competitions and recreation, a climbing wall, camping sites, water play areas for swimming, viewing areas, hiking and biking trails, and more.
Barring any setbacks, the Mill City Park at Franklin Falls will take fifteen weeks to construct, and will open in late September.


The Impact of Artificial Grass on Wedding Scenery
In the world of wedding planning, every detail matters. Whether it’s the seating chat or the floral arrangements, couples are always determined to create picturesque settings that reflect their love story. One element that’s skyrocketing in popularity for its transformative impact on wedding sceneries is artificial grass. While it was once reserved for sports fields and corporate events, it has since made its mark on the wedding scene. This is down to the myriad of benefits that it provides that go way beyond aesthetic appeal. As a result, brides and grooms everywhere are shopping for turf online to bring their wedding sceneries to life.
A Lush Green Canvas
Just picture walking down the aisle surrounded by a vibrant green carpet that mirrors both the appearance and feel of real grass. Artificial grass is the ideal backdrop for outdoor weddings, as it creates a lush and inviting atmosphere whatever the weather may be. From sprawling gardens to urban rooftops, artificial grass works to elevate the ambiance and create a natural oasis that stimulates the senses.
Perhaps the biggest concern of outdoor weddings is unpredictable weather. With the help of artificial grass, the show can go on whether the sun is shining or rain is pouring. This makes a change to natural grass, as when it starts to rain, this will lead to slippery and muddy conditions. On the other hand, artificial grass boasts advanced drainage systems, meaning water can seep through quickly, preventing puddles and maintaining a dry surface for guests to walk on. Artificial grass provides a pristine and resilient surface, meaning couples can rest in peace of mind that their outdoor venue will look impeccable no matter what Mother Nature throws their way.
Versatile Design Options
Artificial grass isn’t just a replacement for traditional lawns; it also gives couples the option to get creative with their wedding décor. Any space can be transformed into a botanical wonderland with artificial grass, whether you’re creating whimsical archways adorned with cascading vines or chic lounge areas with grass-covered furniture. The possibilities are endless with artificial grass, allowing you to craft rustic and chic or modern and elegant themes. Artificial grass acts as a blank canvas for couples, allowing them to unleash their creativity and bring their vision to life in stunning detail.
Wedding planning can be a real whirlwind, which is why convenience is absolutely paramount. It’s safe to say that artificial grass is one of the most convenient outdoor flooring solutions, requiring next to no maintenance. For natural grass to look great, it needs to be mowed, watered, and fertilized regularly, and artificial grass doesn’t need any of this. No matter what the weather is doing, artificial grass remains lush and green, erasing the need for expensive maintenance and reducing water consumption. Artificial grass allows couples to focus on their special day without having to concern themselves about the logistics of lawn care.
The importance of sustainability is growing for a lot of couples, and that’s where artificial grass comes in to provide an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional landscaping. You can find artificial grass that’s crafted from recycled materials, and it also requires no pesticides or fertilizers. As a result, artificial grass can reduce carbon emissions, which minimizes environmental impact. Ultimately, selecting artificial grass for a wedding venue allows a couple to align their celebration with their values, crafting a setting that’s equally stylish and sustainable.
All in all, artificial grass has the power to transform wedding venues completely. Consider incorporating this turfing option into your nuptial celebrations.


How close can Stardarew trees be planted together?
The 3 × 3 area also cannot overlap the area for another fruit tree; The game will not allow you to plant in this situation. So the closest you can plant saplings next to each other is with two tiles between them in all directions.
How far apart should I plant my fruit trees?
15 to 18 feet
Should I remove grass around fruit trees?
It is more difficult for the newer plant in the landscape to compete with more established plants. So it is especially important that grass and weeds surrounding a newly planted tree are continually removed.
How do I keep grass away from my fruit trees?
After the grass is gone, a layer of mulch covering the bare ground surrounding the citrus tree helps prevent the grass from creeping back. As a bonus, the mulch protects shallow roots and retains moisture. Layers of moistened newspaper or landscape fabric create a base layer that blocks weeds before lowering the mulch.
What can I plant around an orange tree?
Lemon Balm, Parsley and Tansy attract Tachinid flies and wasps, which kill harmful caterpillars. Another good set of citrus tree companions are legumes, such as peas and alfalfa. These plants leach nitrogen into the soil, which helps very hungry citrus.
Can grass grow under apple trees?
The roots of the tree will be quite deep, obviously they will have shallow roots, but it won’t hurt the tree if you plant whatever you like under even the grass, it will be totally fine.
Can you plant a peach tree next to an apple tree?
spacing. Apple (Malus Domestica), Pear (Pyrus), Peach (Prunus persica), Nectarine (Prunus persica), Apricot (Prunus Armeniaca) and other fruit trees do well when given adequate space to develop a healthy root system and to get enough sunlight each day.
Where is the best place to plant a plum tree?
Plum trees need full sun to produce sweet fruit, so choose a planting site that gets at least six hours a day. For soil, they prefer loamy soil, which is draining rich in organic matter.
Do plum trees bear fruit every year?
Plum trees do not produce fruit every year. Most plum trees will need 3-6 years after planting before they are mature enough to bear fruit. Dwarf varieties can start producing fruit 1 year earlier than standard plum tree varieties. Some varieties of plums will produce red fruit when they are ripe enough.
Do plums have invasive roots?
A plum tree doesn’t have a noticeable root system, one that lifts sidewalks, for example. The vast majority of the roots of any tree species are found in the 12 to 18 inches of soil.
How long does it take for plum trees to bear fruit?
three to six years
What is the best fertilizer for plum trees?
For newly planted plums, fertilize in early spring by broadcasting one cup of 10-10-10 fertilizer over an area that is about three feet wide. In mid-May and mid-July, apply a ½ cup of calcium nitrate or ammonium nitrate evenly over an area about two feet in diameter.


Bsc DipArch ARB
I studied architecture in London and Cambridge with a special interest in rural development, economy and landscape. After graduating I worked with Peter Beard_LANDROOM as project architect on the Rainham Marsh RSPB reserve a joint project with the London Borough of Havering and part of the London Green Grid which the project emerged from. After the completion of this project I moved to the Greater London Authority’s Design for London / Regeneration teams. My role as a design advisor was focussed on developing briefs and securing funding for regeneration projects in the Lea Valley, largely focussed on Tottenham in the wake of the 2011 riots. Since leaving the GLA I have been working as an independent architect on a variety of projects from small houses to larger public spaces. Most of the work I have undertaken in the last four years has been with London councils and community groups seeking to strengthen places through packages of improvements that might include public realm and landscape works, architectural interventions, building of social structures and marketing or branding.
I have recently joined Karakusevic Carson Architects as a project architect, the practice builds high quality housing, mostly working directly for local authorities.
I have held various teaching / academic roles including design fellow at the University of Cambridge (teaching first year studio), studio tutor at London Metropolitan University and studio tutor at the University of East London.

Let’s begin with understanding what is tree equity. Tree equity refers to the idea that all communities should have access to the benefits of trees, regardless of their socioeconomic status. Trees provide numerous benefits to communities such as clean air, shade, and stormwater management, as well as the social and psychological benefits of being around nature. The concept of tree equity aims to ensure that every community, regardless of their economic or demographic characteristics, has access to these benefits.
Low-income and communities of color are disproportionately affected by a lack of access to green spaces. These communities are more likely to live in areas with fewer trees and less green space, leading to higher levels of air pollution, heat island effects, and other environmental issues. This is due to the fact that these communities often have fewer resources, such as parks and trees, and are less likely to have the political and financial capital to advocate for and secure funding for greening projects.
The historical legacy of redlining and discriminatory policies have led to the concentration of poverty in certain neighborhoods. Redlining is the practice of denying loans or insurance to people based on the racial demographics of a neighborhood, which has led to the concentration of poverty in certain neighborhoods. These neighborhoods are often located in areas with fewer resources, such as parks and trees, and are less likely to have the political and financial capital to advocate for and secure funding for greening projects.
Historical and structural barriers have led to disparities in access to green spaces. These barriers include discriminatory policies such as redlining, lack of funding and resources in certain communities, and a lack of political and financial capital in low-income communities of color to advocate for and secure funding for greening projects.
Cities have a “permit culture” that can make it difficult and expensive for residents to plant trees on their own property. This can be especially challenging for low-income households that may not have the financial resources to navigate the permitting process.
- Targeted planting efforts in low-income and communities of color. This involves focusing on planting trees in these communities to ensure that they have access to the benefits of trees.
- Policy changes make it easier for residents to plant trees on their own property. This can include streamlining the permitting process and providing financial assistance to low-income households to help with the cost of planting trees.
- Engaging and empowering residents in the greening process by providing education and resources. This can include providing information on how to plant and care for trees, as well as creating opportunities for community members to take leadership roles in greening projects.
- Creating “green streets” that prioritize the planting of trees and other vegetation in areas with high levels of traffic. This can help to reduce air pollution, mitigate the heat island effect, and provide shade and other benefits to communities.
- Incorporating green infrastructure into urban planning and development projects. This includes including things like parks, green roofs, and rain gardens in new developments, as well as retrofitting existing buildings and infrastructure with green infrastructure.
Tree equity is about ensuring that all communities have access to the benefits of trees, and addressing the historical and structural barriers that have led to disparities in access to green spaces. By working towards more equitable access to trees and green spaces, we can create healthier and more livable communities for all. This can be achieved through targeted planting efforts, policy changes, empowering residents, creating green streets, and incorporating green infrastructure in urban planning and development projects.


Planting climbers like ivy can cover ugly walls, insulate your home and support local wildlife – and keeping it under control is easier than you would think, writes Clare Wilson
23 September 2020
What you need
An ivy plant
A pot (optional, but recommended)
THE latest thing in architecture is green buildings – covering walls and roofs with a carpet of plants to insulate, soak up rain and provide a home for wildlife. Many such buildings need complex systems for holding and irrigating the soil, but there is a much easier approach: growing some ivy.
Ivy is a group of about a dozen species of evergreen climbing plants in the genus Hedera that are happy in shade or full sun and with most kinds of soil. They don’t …

We have five different bundles available, depending on where the trees are being planted, plus a hedgerow bundle. Each bundle contains 10, 20 or 25 trees and people can apply for up to 20 bundles.
All the information, including the application form can be found on the website: https://www.chichester.gov.uk/treescheme.
In addition to this scheme, CDC can offer advice on applying for free trees and have grant funding for community orchards, agroforestry projects and trees in the farmed landscapes.


The Horticulture Department at Orange Coast College prides itself on having a very fine program for students planning to enter the field of horticulture and for people already working in the Green Industry who wish to expand and update their horticultural knowledge.
We offer classes in areas such as horticulture science, nursery operations, propagation, plant identification, soil science, residential irrigation, landscape design, landscape maintenance, interior plantscaping, pest and disease control, and opportunities for participation in Poinsettia Crop Management. Course content is relevant, up-to-date, meets current industry standards, and has been developed with input from experts in the horticultural industry.
The Horticulture Department has seven greenhouses with over 9,000 square feet of space; 4,000 square feet shade structure; a tree arboretum; fruit tree orchard; well-equipped classroom building set in beautiful landscaped grounds; and Outdoor Laboratory (150+ 10x10 plots). In addition, we use the entire campus as a living laboratory for our classes.
Students can earn an Certificate of Achievement degree in Horticulture or a Certificate of Specialization in Retrofitting California Urban Gardens or Certificates of Specialization in Landscape Design (basic, intermediate and advanced) or ProPractice of a Landscape Design and Construction. They may then transfer to a baccalaureate program in Agriculture and Environmental Plant Science or Horticulture/Crop Science or Landscape Architecture at one of several private or State Universities. Students anticipating transfer to a four-year College should consult the current Orange Coast College catalogue for curriculum planning assistance. The courses have been designed both for full-time students planning to enter the horticulture or Green Industry and for those people working in one of the many interesting areas of horticulture who wish to expand their horticulture knowledge. Most classes are conducted during convenient evening hours for students who are working or for people already in the Green Industry to upgrade their skills.
While at OCC Horticulture majors have the opportunity to explore this fascinating career area and explore “digging in the dirt” with hands-on experiential studies. Students will plant and grow organics vegetables, propagate a variety of plants, collect plant samples for identification, design gardens, and learn the fundamentals of nursery operations.
The beauty of horticulture as a career option is that it lets you carve out a niche that meets your own talents and aspirations, whatever they may be.


Construction of Khorog campus: Preparation work
17 September 2013
To prepare its Khorog campus site for construction, the University of Central Asia (UCA) is clearing and crushing up to 160,000 cubic metres of rock. The cleared land will house UCA buildings and the crushed stone will be used as raw material in the construction of roads, the Khorog campus buildings and other infrastructure. The site is located 2,100 metres above sea level and the campus will include academic, athletic and residential facilities surrounded by landscaped parks. The design and building process will employ best practices in campus design, seismic design, construction methods and environmental sustainability.


Rishi Vatsyayana, the author of the erotic masterpiece, the Kama Sutra, analogizes a person’s sex life to a well-groomed garden, and considers it to be a necessity in the well kept house of a healthy, cultured person.
Perhaps the oldest reference to gardens in Indian culture dates back to the epic Ramayana. It talks about Ashok Vatika and goes into detail describing the trees, fruits, flora and fauna of the place. But it was under the Mughals that gardens in India saw a major efflorescence as they embarked on a quest to build them wherever they could.
The Mughals had a great love for natural beauty and nourished it by creating gardens in picturesque spots with natural water sources. They based their gardens on the principles of Chahar Bagh, or Paradise Garden. Kashmir was an especially lovely place to create these, and some of the finest Char Bagh water gardens were built here. Shalimar, Nishat, Chashme Shahi, Pari Mahal, Achabal, Verinag together are known as Mughal Gardens.
Flowers Blooming Everywhere
One of the most magnificent and meticulously maintained Gardens in India is the Mughal Garden in the precinct of the President’s house in New Delhi. It draws its inspiration from the Mughal Gardens of Jammu and Kashmir, the gardens around the Taj Mahal and even ancient paintings of India and Persia. It was designed in 1917 and created in 1928, and has 159 varieties of roses, 70 varieties of seasonal flowers and 50 varieties of trees.

Sometimes, creating a visual barrier on your property can be a difficult task to tackle. Should you build a fence? Perhaps you don’t like the idea of a fence – or maybe a fence is simply much too costly for your budget.
This article is meant to provide you with a way to create a privacy screening on your property in a cost-efficient… and attractive manner!
We used Arborvitae Green Giants for the privacy screening on this property. Check out the video below to see how it all ties together!
As you can see in the video, even the simplest of touches can make a huge difference! These Arborvitae Green Giants were selected for a specific reason. They will eventually grow together with depth and fullness, creating a visual barrier for the customer’s privacy.
As you learned in the video, they will grow to be approximately 20-30 feet in height with a 7 foot spread – so this particular yard will have a nice privacy screening in the area in which it was desired.
Here’s an added bonus for using the Arborvitae Green Giants as your privacy screen: These plants are evergreens! What does that mean? It means that you will experience the full color, density, and privacy screening year-round!
This also goes for the Red Tip Photinia that were used. They will grow densely, and with a nice height for that corner. Again, it holds the benefit of maintaining it’s beauty throughout the year – as it is also an evergreen shrub. This particular ‘evergreen’ has a semi-glossy red variegated tip.

The Village of Glen Ellyn and the Glen Ellyn Park District recently collaborated on a tree planting and educational initiative thanks to donations from the Morton Arboretum and DuPage Foundation.
Morton Arboretum donated 13 trees that were recently planted within Panfish Park. In addition, thanks to a $10,000 grant provided by the Glen Ellyn Fund of the DuPage Foundation to the Village, an additional 19 trees were also planted at the park. The Glen Ellyn Park District also utilized a portion of the funds to develop a self-guided interactive tree walking tour and GIS map, where participants can scan a QR code on signs at the tree to learn about its species.
Glen Ellyn has had a longstanding dedication to caring for and enhancing its trees within the community. As part of the Village’s ongoing Central Business District Streetscape and Utility Improvement Project, the Village is planting more than 120 new trees, nearly doubling the number within its Downtown area.
Thanks to these efforts, and the contributions of the DuPage Foundation and Morton Arboretum, Glen Ellyn will continue its legacy as an award-winning Tree City.
