Fall colors

Cooler temperatures lead to less foot traffic at the park, but fall colors in the trees reward walkers.

New trees

It is hard to remember how warm it was last week when the city planted about 20 trees. The trees found their way to Highland Park when the city found that tree wells elsewhere had been filled with concrete. Thank you, Dennis Garvin, Commissioner of Parks and Forestry Division, for thinking of our park. Last month four of us walked through the park with Denny and among other issues, mentioned that some of the trees planted last year have been damaged or killed.
