Two local Evanston Rotary clubs will plant 100 trees in the city on Saturday, May 5 at 10 a.m. as part of the Trees for Evanston Parks project, with support from the City of Evanston and Northwestern University. The 100 new trees are in addition to 20 trees planted by the clubs last fall.

The tree planting on May 5 will take place in four parks: Elliot Park by Lake Michigan; James Park in southwest Evanston; and Twiggs and Harbert Parks along the east side of the North Shore Channel (canal) near McCormick Boulevard. Following the tree planting, all are welcome to come to the Celtic Knot, 626 Church St., at 11:30 a.m. for a celebration.
