Thank you to all the sponsors who participated in the Ogle County Christmas tree recycling program. We had another successful turnout with more than 700 trees being chipped into mulch.

The high school FFA organizations from Byron, Oregon, Polo and Forreston have continued to do an excellent job picking up trees at the curb for their communities.

We appreciate the continued support of the city of Byron, Byron Forest Preserve District, Byron High School FFA, Polo High School FFA, Aurand Tree Service, Oregon Park District, Oregon High School FFA, the village of Forreston, Forreston High School FFA, the village of Leaf River, Flagg-Rochelle Park District, the city of Rochelle, and Lichty’s Landscaping.
