Living Legacy Groves

Living Legacy Groves are planned groupings of trees and other native plantings on city property, made possible by donations from residents, businesses and nonprofit organizations. The groves are accessible to the public, include educational signage and are planted in areas earmarked for restoration. These groves add to the city's tree canopy and wouldn't be possible without our donors and volunteers!
