The first, carried out at Black River Audubon Park, helped turn a former dumping ground off Elyria’s downtown into a promising mini-arboretum of native trees. The actual planting was performed by Elyria High School students, Rotary Club members, and local residents that Jim recruited, as well as BRAS members. The project earned praise in the president’s keynote address at the 2019 Audubon convention in Milwaukee.
