WQEC-TV to Feature Quincy’s Tree Restoration Program

Weeks after the City of Quincy took the brunt of a huge wind storm, the city has slowly worked its way back to some degree of normalcy. With thousands of trees downed by winds in excess of 75 miles an hour and 95% of the city without any power for days, the cleanup project was enormous.

An estimated 15-thousand trees were toppled forcing crews and citizens to look at weeks of cleanup for their properties. With the cleanup project nearing completion, the City of Quincy has turned to the restoration of lost trees.

With that in mind, Network Knowledge's Public Broadcast Station WQEC-TV will be broadcasting a feature on Quincy's tree restoration project on their "Illinois Stories" program on Channel 27 (over the air) or Channel 8 on the local cable.

The show, with Mark McDonald as the host, will air three different times in the next week.  The first airing will be tonight at 7:30 p.m. The next two airings will be Friday, August 21, at 6:30 p.m. and then again on Wednesday, August 26, at 6:30 p.m.
