Thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s Annual Meeting on October 19th! We were pleased by the tremendous turnout and engagement. And a special thank you to everyone who pledged a tree toward Holden Arboretum’s “People for Trees” program, on behalf of GMLC. There is still time to contribute!

Thank you to our guest speaker Erick Carlson, who shared with us the challenges our tree canopy faces here in Gates Mills and throughout the county, including a new threat to our beech forests. Erick has a Bachelor’s degree in Plant Biology and Geography from Michigan State University, as well as a Masters and PhD in Ecology from Colorado State University, with a focus on wetlands, rivers, biochemistry and mapping. He was a university professor for 3 years and is now a middle school science teacher here at University School. Erick is an Eagle Scout, a cross country coach, and a father of 4, and we’re proud to say also is a resident of Gates Mills.
