MCN and Davey Deliver 'Tree of Life' to Legislators in Springfield: Elgin Day 2009

On Feb 26, 2009 Elgin leaders and citizens traveled to Springfield to encourage state representatives and senators to remember their 'Tree City' for capitol funding from the stimulus bill.

Volunteers delivered 200 Dark Green Arborvitae (Tree of Life), donated by McHenry County Nursery and distributed by DaveyTree, to the desks of legislators.

Trees and shrubs are an important part of any infrastructure planning, but are vital to an environmentally friendly 'Green' infrastructure plan.
