Sears workers volunteer for Earth Day
A team of more than 40 volunteers is planning projects for the village of Hoffman Estates Public Works Department and the Hoffman Estates Park District at two parks from 9 a.m. to noon Friday.
Associates from Sears Holdings Corporation have volunteered to plant trees and perform tree maintenance in Hoffman Estates as part of the company's annual Earth Day activities.
Volunteers will help the park district plant 100 sapling trees at Essex Park, 1334 Essex Drive, in Hoffman Estates. The 24-inch saplings, provided by the park district, include varieties of red oak trees.
The public works department will lead other volunteers to provide spring care for trees at Arbor Day Park, 1110 Downing Drive, that will include mulching and cleaning the park.
