It was great co-hosting The Economic Club of Chicago member exchange tonight with Sharon Hwang to share the work of The Morton Arboretum’s Chicago Region Trees Initiative. We discussed active efforts to increase tree canopy throughout the state working alongside under-resourced communities and building capacity through grants the Arboretum is administering. This investment in communities is made possible through the historic $23 million in total Inflation Reduction Act funding the Arboretum received through the USDA Forest Service and Illinois Department of Natural Resources. Thanks to all who joined us for the event! As always, thanks to Mark Ishaug for making sure there is a great photo!
