A Walk in the Park

The transition from Summer to Autumn provides a perfect opportunity to observe the most intimate of details in the Parks.

Look for:

• Chipmunks and squirrels scurrying and gathering nuts and seeds
• Orange persimmons ripening in the trees
• Tall ironweed, goldenrod and white fall wildflowers in the fields
• Gourds hanging from trellis in the organic garden
• Fall warblers early in the morning snatching bugs from the tips of tree leaves
• Sassafras, black gum and other trees beginning to show their colors
