Henry County Healthy Communities
About Us
​​We depend on a board of volunteer directors - leaders in our community - to guide us and keep us on mission.
​
-
1000s of trees have taken root around Henry County.
-
Miles of trails have been developed.
-
Kids have a place to play.
-
Neighborhoods and parks are cleaner and safer.
All thanks to the volunteers and supporters of Healthy Communities of Henry County.
​
Healthy Communities of Henry County started in 1993.
Their first big project in 1999 was to bring together over 2,000 local volunteers to build the F.U.N. playground at Baker Park.
A year later, they celebrated the millennium with their Trees for 2000 planting the appropriate 2,000 trees around the county.
In 2003, HCHC started their biggest challenge yet – building trails throughout Henry County spinning out from centrally located New Castle to the edges of the county like spokes on a bicycle wheel.
In recent years, Healthy Communities has embraced smaller, like minded organizations to help make them stronger – HC-RIPS, The New Castle Climate Action Team and The Friends of the Big Blue River.
Our first 'community' project...
