Our beautiful tree canopy is one of the features that make our neighborhood so attractive. The HHA Urban Forestry Committee would like to recognize individuals and businesses that have gone out of their way to “live in tandem with trees.” If you have a story or know of a property that has saved the life of a tree, we want to hear from you so we can feature it in the Heights Newsletter. By telling these stories, we hope that others will see the importance in preserving our important trees. Please tell us your story, and attach photos if you have them.

Everyone is invited to this free Heights Urban Forestry Day. See you on Saturday, November 12th!
