Valders Community Picnic

10/17/2025

🌳 Exciting news for Valders! Have you noticed the 20 new trees planted throughout Valders Memorial Park? 🌲

In response to various diseases that have led to the removal of many trees over the past few years, we've partnered with the Village of Valders, Valders Lions Club, and Valders Area Sports Association VASA, along with a generous personal donation from Bob and Julie Wigen. These young, strong trees are thriving and will help restore the beauty of our park. Let's celebrate this positive change together! 💚
