Holden Forests and Gardens

Moydell comes to Cleveland with horticultural experience in Seattle and Philadelphia. He replaces Jill Koski, who stepped down last fall.

The grants went to 139 groups in 35 counties, including 30 groups in Cuyahoga County alone. A second round of grants will be announced in a few weeks.

The goal of the program launched by Holden Forests and Garden is to increase the tree canopy in the Greater Cleveland area by helping homeowners plant 15,000 trees by 2025
