Volunteers planted a heritage white oak April 27, 2024 as part of commemorating Arbor Day at Paulus Park in Lake Zurich. Members of the Lake Zurich Tree Commission and a host of volunteers planted a heritage white oak tree as part of observance of Arbor Day.

People gathered in Paulus Park April 27 – behind what is known as the barn community building – to witness the tree planting. “It’s a great day to celebrate Arbor Day, and getting more native plants and trees in the ground,” said Alicia Timm, volunteer chair of Ancient Oaks Foundation.“It’s important to be here and just doing what we’re doing in general, because without replanting these canopies, these trees are having a really hard time regrowing on their own. Without replanting those canopies, we lose the oaks,” said Kevin Scheiwiller, Lake Zurich Tree Commission board member.

People were encouraged to collect debris in the park and families participated in a community clean up.
