Over 300 new trees were planted at the fully remediated slag heap in Swisshelm Park. All trees cut down to remediate the site were replaced, and we planted a few extra to go above and beyond for our city and our neighbors.

ALT A single sapling tree that is losing its red leaves. A couple more saplings are seen in the distance. The tree is planted in open, grassy space that was recently remediated. The land was formerly used as a steel slag dump. The tall trees in the background are losing their leaves and changing colors.
