Last year, we hosted a Tree Training class for our downtown trees.
ODNR came and taught us about the benefits of well trained trees, about the tools needed, and on the spot training!
Our group was able to get all the downtown trees trained. They will be trained again in '28.

Trees all around Kenton are set to be removed this week! Maybe this bow will keep this tree together long enough!

We are very excited to announce our grant from The Hardin County Community Foundation!

This money will be going to plant trees this fall. If you know an area that needs trees we will be compiling a list of potential sites (can be in your tree lawn also!) in the next couple of months. Go here to fill out a form: https://kentonoh.rja.revize.com/forms

Thank you! Thank you!
For investing in our City of Kenton Government Trees!

I was driving home from Columbus and you can see these trees in bloom and how invasive they really are- like thistles!

Plant this, not that!

The callery pear tree is invasive and illegal to sell and plant in Ohio. If you’re looking for a beautiful alternative, our friends at The Ohio State University have some suggestions.
