STEWARD — The Village of Steward held its 15th Arbor Day Celebration at Steward Elementary School on Friday April 27.
Former Village President Mildred Danekas gave the Arbor Day Proclamation for President Hugh McKiski, who was unable to attend.
The assembly was about Witness Trees and what Steward’s Witness Tree would have seen. Of course, trees are inanimate, but they give a time reference to historic events.
Since Steward was all prairie 150 years ago, our Witness Tree grew nearby in “Plum Thicket,” the only grove in Alto Township. The current owner of the grove graciously photographed and measured some of the very large oaks and walnuts.
