Trees

View from Holland Highlands by Regina Harrison

We are fortunate to live in a township that is 43% forested. A program has been initiated to help people identify trees, since knowing the trees around us gives us reason to protect them. Our tree identification program has occurred over a number of years, as we surveyed our parks for specimens to label. The trees are labeled with a plaque containing its common name, the scientific name, and a QR code. The unique code is something that can be scanned with a smartphone or other device. By scanning it, you will be led to a township webpage where there is detailed information and often a short video about that specific tree. Then go to the “Holland Tree Sign Map” to find the trees on the specific property where the locations are plotted out.

Here is where you can find the identified trees:
Riegel Ridge Community Center and Holland Park behind it - 21 trees
O’sakame Preserve – 3 trees
Holland Highlands Preserve – 6 trees

Explore Trees of Holland to see the trees and a map to locate them. This is where a link to the Holland Tree Map is located.

You might be surprised by the diversity of birds that pass through Holland or make this area their home.  Because we have a variety of habitats in the township: woodlands, grasslands, rivers, mountains, wetlands, we have a large number of different species here, including some endangered species.
