The MRCP \u00a0partnered with the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, Paul Hemmer, Sand Run Nursery and the City of Cincinnati on this project. In November of 2005 a 150 trees were planted at this site with the help of students from Dater and Loveland high schools. A press conference and dedication was held with Vice Mayor Alicia Reese, Congressmen Rob Portman and Steve Chabot, Dr. Spencer Crew from the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center and Northside Community Council members in attendance.<\/p>\n
