Commemorative Tree Planting Program
In 2023 Mike Patterson
started the Commenorative Tree Planting program. This program is
designed to encourage planting of quality trees throughout our park area
at the American Legion Post 589, Kettering, Ohio. The Tree Program can
be used to commemorate an event, person, or group with a tree &
commemorative granite marker with inscription.
I have added the GPS
coordinates to aid in locating a memorial. The coordinates may be off a
little based upon what GPS device you are using.
