| Heritage Trees | Sylvania is blessed with many large oak and maple trees that are over two hundred years old. The Division undertakes special efforts to preserve these trees, where ever they are located, because of their important to our natural heritage. Our largest tree is a Bur Oak on the front lawn if the Administration Building at 6730 Monroe Street. |

| Arbor Day Celebration | Each year the Division sponsors an Arbor day program. Students from Sylvania Schools are invited to attend the festivities and to help in planting a large tree. The program allows the participants to focus on the importance of trees and their tie to our well being. |
