In 2022, following the unnecessary damage and removal of old growth trees by the City and utility companies, EGA embarked on an effort to catalogue our old growth parkway trees. Heritage trees, those which are 50 years old or more, are critical to the environment, public health, and the beauty of our neighborhood. The results of that effort were a toolkit that can be used by any organization to identify and track heritage trees as well as a first of it’s kind, ground up study of the trees of Edgewater Glen.
An exhibit was held to feature the toolkit and study at the Edgewater Historical Society on Arbor Day, 2023 which marked the kickoff of an effort by the Edgewater Historical Society to work with the Edgewater Environmental Coalition and all Edgewater Block Clubs to inventory ALL of the heritage parkway trees in Edgewater.
