    On Friday, April 20, Cleveland Metroparks staff and
    volunteers will plant 95 trees to celebrate the upcoming
    95th Anniversary of the Park District and Earth Day. The
    planting takes place between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. around Rocky River
    Nature Center and Fort Hill in Rocky River Reservation.



    The trees are all species native to Ohio and include red oak,
    black oak and American hornbeam. They range in size from 2- to
    7-feet tall and will be caged and staked to protect and stabilize
    the young trees.



    Cleveland Metroparks has begun restoring Rocky River
    Reservation's historic Fort Hill in celebration of its
    95th anniversary.  During the next five years,
    leading to its 100th anniversary, Cleveland Metroparks
    will plant additional trees and continue rehabilitating the Fort
    Hill trail network.  



    This project is made possible through the Legacy Fund of
    Cleveland Metroparks.  Donations to the Fund support the
    purchase of the trees being planted.



     For more information about the Legacy Fund and to make a
    gift, visit clevelandmetroparks.com and select �get involved.�
