Ceremonial Jesse Owens Olympic Oak Tree Planting at James Ford Rhodes High School
Eighty-five years ago, a priceless oak tree was planted by Jesse Owens in Cleveland at James Ford Rhodes High School, a symbol of athletic and cultural triumph. Today, a horticulturally propagated tree from the Jesse Owens Olympic Oak was planted next to the site of the original tree. Thank you to our incredible community partners, Cleveland Metropolitan School District, Cleveland Neighborhood Progress, and Old Brooklyn Community Development Corporation for making this planting possible and giving this historical tree a new life.

“Thanks to generous support from Cuyahoga County, six trees were planted Thursday at the groundbreaking of a new initiative to reforest the Central neighborhood of Cleveland. Financial support from Cuyahoga County will be used to train Central residents to plant and care for new trees in this area of the city where only 12% of the neighborhood is shaded by trees. Our planting site was East 39th Street Garden, a community garden operated by Andrea Johnson and the Center for IP, Technology, and Telecommunications, Inc. that grows fresh produce for donation to local seniors, churches, and residents. The addition of six fruit trees will enhance the garden’s offerings while providing beauty and shade to the neighborhood. The project is managed by Burten, Bell, Carr Development, Inc. with technical support provided by Holden Forests & Gardens.
With this gorgeous weather, we hope you will take some time today to get outside. Perhaps a walk through the garden with some company is all you need! 🌸
The Murch Canopy Walk is the perfect fall adventure! Stroll along a 500-foot-long elevated walkway that rises 65 feet above the forest floor. Walk amongst the treetops, and admire our forest from an entirely new perspective! 🌿
