Come get to know the trees & shrubs of Glen Providence Park – familiar and unfamiliar, old and recently-planted, common and rare, living and dead! We will look at often-unseen ecological connections, uses, and value of our local woody flora. This walk will be led by certified arborist Mike Rolli – those who attended Mike’s previous walks know the remarkable depth and breadth of his knowledge and the fascinating details he shares. Mike has worked on an extensive botanical survey of the species found in the glen. 

Logistics:

  • Free!
  • No registration required this time! 
  • Meet at the main entrance at 550 W. State St., Media
  • Rain, snow, or shine**
  • Estimated distance: 1-1.5 miles
  • Estimated time: 2 hours
  • Be prepared for stream crossings, steep hills, and uneven (possibly icy or muddy) terrain: wear sturdy walking shoes, bring a hiking pole if you use one, and you never know when you’ll want binoculars!
  • **Event is rain or shine, but if the weather is terrible – or in the event of high winds – we’ll post on our website and facebook by 9:30am on Saturday whether we will need to cancel.
