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.
