Highland Height’s 2025 Arbor Day was a Success!
The Highland Heights Tree Commission would like to thank everyone who came out on April 26th to take part in our annual tree giveaway. The Tree Commission purchased a variety of trees to give out to residents of Highland Heights during this event.
Mayor Greg Meyers was on hand to present the Arbor Day Proclamation. During this event, a tree was dedicated to Steve Lehman for his support of the Tree Commission and his service to the City. Steve is currently the Director of Public Works, but has also served on City Council and the Recreation Committee, among others.
If any of our Highland Heights neighbors would like attend Tree Commission meetings, they are on the 4th Wednesday of even numbered months at 7:00 PM in the City Building.
