REDLANDS, Calif. — Saplings near Lugonia Elementary and the painted utility boxes by I-10 are the result of a group of community leaders with the mission to improve shade and aesthetics in North Redlands.

The initiative, spearheaded by the rebooted Leadership Redlands class of 2023, not only enhanced local infrastructure but also paved the way for future beautification projects throughout the city.

The group said they faced numerous challenges during the process but ultimately brought together city officials, the school district, and community members to improve the local environment.

Now, the 2023 Leadership Redlands class alumni are looking forward to sharing the project's success with the community during a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday, Nov. 1, at 4 p.m.
