Own a Piece of Urbana’s Beloved Sim Hackberry

Date: November 5, 2014 - 6:00pm to 8:30pm

Earlier in 2014, the Urbana’s Arbor Division selected a Sim Hackberry that stood at 312 S. Coler Ave., as the first honoree in the Legacy Tree Program. Though the tree’s deteriorating condition necessitated its removal in 2013, the tree was honored posthumously.


A November 5, 2014 class being offered by CU Woodshop offers an opportunity to work with pieces of the Hackberry to turn a bottle stopper on a lathe, creating a one-of-a-kind memento.


Time: 6:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Number of students: Maximum of 4 to allow for personal attention
Prerequisite: None
Cost: $65, includes all materials
Registration and details: 217-355-1244
