Welcome
There are many
ways you can get involved to help
preserve our natural and cultural
heritage. While financial support is
always helpful, your involvement with
the many issues facing our community
is also important. You are
welcome to attend our meetings, make
your voice heard in the political
arena and work on projects that are of
the highest interest to you.

modest fee your voice can be heard,
and we can help keep you informed
about ways to preserve our
community.

Highland

Adopt-A-Highway
As
part of our
contribution to
preserving the
entrance and perimeter
of Lyman Woods Forest
Preserve, the Alliance
has volunteered to
participate in the
national
Adopt-A-Highway
program. Our adopted
highway segment is
Highland Avenue from
39th Street north to
31st Street in Downers
Grove, IL. We can
always use the help of
volunteers during our
quarterly cleanup
sessions.
Clean
up days for 2024 are
Saturdays, April 13,
June 8, August 10, and
October 5 from 8:30
until 10:00 AM. We
meet at the 33rd

Arbor Day
Program
Pierce
Downer's Heritage Alliance cooperates with the
Downers Grove Park District and School
District 58 to celebrate Arbor Day with
planting trees in a local park.
The
Downers Grove Park District celebrated Arbor
Day 2023 with an educational tree planting
activity at Patriots Park, and an oak seedling
giveaway to residents.
On Friday
April 28, 2023, the District planted two trees
in Patriots Park with the assistance of the
Whittier School first grade classes. PDHA made
a donation to sponsor one of the trees.
Help
support Downers Grove's urban canopy by
planting a tree in your own backyard!
