A rainy day kept the number of volunteers a bit lower for the annual 1,000 Tree Planting Project in Riverside on Nov. 18, but it didn’t deter this group of kids who lugged a jug of tree seeds through the woods in order to plant them near the Des Plaines River. Above left, (from left) Mateo Cubas, Zack Hosek and Steven Sanduski team up to plant one of the many tree seeds. | Alexa Rogals/Staff Photographer
