Roselle, IL – April 26, 2025
In a heartfelt demonstration of environmental commitment and community unity, the Roselle Park District hosted a large-scale tree planting initiative on Saturday, April 26. The event, themed “Love Our Mother Earth,” was jointly organized by the Federation of Indian Associations (FIA) Chicago and the Chicago Indo-US Lions Club, in partnership with the City of Roselle.

The event drew volunteers of all ages, including enthusiastic participation from local high school students from Lake Park Schools. Their early-morning energy set the tone for a day centered around sustainability and environmental stewardship. Volunteers worked side by side, transforming the park into an active green space while also engaging in a living lesson on the importance of nature and community engagement.

Planning and logistics were handled with care and efficiency. Saplings were distributed across the site, and volunteers were guided to planting spots throughout the day. Community leaders and members of both organizations played hands-on roles in the day’s success, offering time, tools, and encouragement to the large volunteer turnout.

Organizers described the event not just as a planting drive, but as a collective commitment to climate resilience and ecological harmony. Tree planting was promoted as a means to improve air quality, provide urban cooling, support biodiversity, and foster future sustainability. Passersby from the local community were moved by the enthusiasm on display and many joined in spontaneously, adding to the day’s strong sense of shared purpose.

The collaboration brought together volunteers and leaders from multiple sectors, symbolizing unity and cooperation. Participants emphasized the importance of building connections—not only among organizations, but also across generations and between people and nature.

The tree planting drive concluded with a renewed sense of community purpose. Attendees left with the understanding that environmental stewardship is a shared responsibility, and the day stood as a testament to what can be achieved through coordinated local action.
