ReLeaf is the Lake Erie Arboretum at Frontier Park’s direct response to climate change and a chance for us to beautify our community spaces outside of Frontier Park. We’ve worked hard on making the park the valuable, safe, outdoor space that it is today. Now, it’s our time to turn outward into our community and create even more precious, green spaces for all to enjoy.
Planting trees is one thing that virtually everyone in the United States can participate in that will address the problem of excess carbon in the atmosphere. We are calling the residents of Erie County to join us in our efforts to slow global warming and educate our community on the importance of planting trees.
Join us. Plant up - be counted.
We can’t do this without your help!
