Volunteers invited to help plant trees on Nov. 7, 2026
The City of Logansport has partnered with the Indiana University Environmental Resilience Institute to plant one hundred trees in the community through the Urban Green Infrastructure Resilience Cohort.
Julien Doty, an undergraduate senior at Indiana University Bloomington studying Environmental Science and Economics, interned with Planning Director Arin Shaver during the summer of 2026, and conducted data-driven analyses to identify the highest priority planting areas while also building partnerships with community members to incorporate feedback. The project aims to plant trees that will serve and be cared for by residents for generations.
Downtown and west side locations were selected after analyzing flood risks, social demographics and heat intensities. A map of proposed locations can be seen at https://tinyurl.com/logansport-trees
A community celebration and volunteer tree planting event will be held Saturday, November 7, 2026 from noon to 4 p.m. Volunteers will meet at the Academy at LCSC, and the trees will be planted in the west side neighborhood.
To sign up to help plant the trees, which are about 6 feet tall and 2 inches in diameter, use these forms:
