Most of the commission members have completed a course sponsored by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, which included instruction in trimming and pruning trees. Trees in the Industrial Park, Depot Park, and the right-of-way of streets were made safer, healthier, and more beautiful due to the efforts of the volunteers. (Monty Siekerman photo)
