Young oak trees will soon be popping up in Lisle parks thanks to the Lisle Park District's Oak Tree Regenerative Project. Oaks support hundreds of beneficial insects and including more trees is part of Lisle Park District's pollinator recovery plan. The DuPage Monarch Project is pleased to announce Lisle Park District has received the 2022 Jane Foulser Habitat Award for undertaking an innovative, multiyear project of germinating hundreds of acorns and planting young oak trees throughout their parks in the next several years.
