The Grove at French Park was established in 2012. It was formed to honor and remember local members or members’ immediate family who have passed. The Grove is located on approximately an acre of land in French Park. Every few years new native trees are planted in memory and volunteers participate in cleanups to protect the area from encroaching invasives.
