Ken Jewett, businessman, naturalist, and philanthropist, shares his story of love for native maple trees, spanning decades, which has resulted in a legacy of roads lined with their undeniable beauty.

Sue and Bryan Green share why they gave the first transformational gift to the Highway of Heroes Tree Tribute and continue supporting Trees for Life’s work to grow leafy canopies in local communities.
