OAKtober

Ahhh-- the fall air is crisp, and October is just around the corner and that means .... OAKtober!  We have been busy working with our community partners to help create a week's plus worth of fun and educational activities for all ages!  We have an OAKtober Storytime for our littlest greenies, a free screening of the classic The Lorax for kids of all ages, and a Trees on Tap discussion with local tree experts at Two Hound Red for the whole family. The Glen Ellyn Park District is hosting tree planting how-to, nature walks and bird watching!  And of course, the signature OAKtober event - OAKtoberfest on Oct 5! Get out your calendars and make plans to celebrate fall and our magnificent oaks!
