Last night, Jim Hespe, on behalf of the Green and Shade Tree Committee, presented Mayor Misciagna and the whole Park Ridge Council with a plaque recognizing Park Ridge as a Tree City USA community! This is a tremendous accomplishment and one that requires years of dedication, planning, environmental stewardship, and a strong commitment to preserving and growing our community’s tree canopy.

This recognition is a true testament to the hard work and commitment of the Green Team and Shade Tree, along with the support of their Green Team Council Liaison Councilman Hoffman throughout the process. Their collective efforts help make Park Ridge a greener, healthier, and more beautiful community for generations to come.

Thank you, Ava and Dylan, for your help and leadership!
