Community Oak Planting

To raise awareness of the need to plant more oaks and take better care of the ones we have, TLC works with municipalities, schools, churches, students and volunteers to promote the next generation of oaks through spring and fall community oak planting events.

To date, several thousand oak trees have been planted at sites around McHenry County. The trees are raised by Glacier Oaks Nursery in Harvard and are 2-3 years old when planted.

The spring 2016 oaks were planted by school groups and at MCCD camps. If you, your group or your community are interested in participating in a community oak planting, please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.!
