The Jacksonville Rotary Club ‘Rotary Trees’ project is proud to be the charity recipient of Jacksonville Night at Busch Stadium on Saturday, June 1.

All proceeds of this year’s event will go toward the Jacksonville Rotary Tree Project. Jacksonville’s historic streets were once tree-lined with majestic, large shade trees. Over time, many of our trees were lost due to disease, age and lack of an organized replacement program. As a result, large gaps now appear in the tree canopy on many of the streets.

The Jacksonville Rotary Club is addressing the loss of trees by creating the Jacksonville Rotary Tree Project. Initially, the plan is to plant trees in the heart of Jacksonville’s Historic District. The area of planting will be bounded roughly by Lafayette, College, Church and Webster, anchored by West State Street. Eventually, the Project will be expanded to include adjacent streets and neighborhoods as soon as additional funding becomes available.
