NATIONAL NEWS
Volunteers helping to Re-green Lake Co. preserves
(Chicago, IL)- On many weekends over the past 25 years, Tom Smith has  
led volunteers in never ending efforts to improve the forest preserves  
in Lake County. In one sense, October is no different, with a series  
of workdays scheduled in various locations. But in the bigger picture,  
Lake County's efforts are among hundreds of "re-greening" activities  
throughout the U.S. in October as part of National NeighborWoods  
Month, promoted by the nonprofit Alliance for Community Trees.
