Cleveland Botanical Garden and Holden Arboretum are proud to introduce a new, free 30-minute speaker program for our community partners in Lake, Geauga, and Cuyahoga counties! Through our People For Trees initiative, we have launched our Green Team Ambassadors,
who will come present about how the tree canopy has changed in northeast Ohio, how these changes are impacting our quality of life, and what Holden Forests & Gardens is doing to mitigate those changes. Find out how you can support our People for Trees movement
by joining a vast community of concerned citizens across northeast Ohio who are working to restore our tree canopy, starting in their own backyard. </div>
