Heights Libraries, in partnership with Heights Tree People, was recently awarded a Cuyahoga County Healthy Urban Tree Canopy (HUTC) Grant to plant a one-acre mini-forest along the east side of the Coventry P.E.A.C.E. Campus building.

This is an exciting and unique opportunity to increase tree canopy in Cleveland Heights. Our project will be completed with primarily volunteer labor, guided by professional foresters, and through in-kind donations of some materials.

And we are looking for volunteers to help our tree stewards plant our forest! Will you join us?
