Trails & Trees
The climate crisis is placing increasing stress on trees, with rising temperatures, prolonged droughts, and more intense storms threatening their health and survival. In response to these challenges, the park has postponed new tree planting and is establishing a dedicated fund to sustain and protect the trees we currently have. We remain hopeful that, with community support and improved conditions, our commemorative tree planting program can restart in the near future.
Your donation can help sustain the trees in our local park, ensuring they stay healthy and vibrant for generations to come. By contributing, you support essential care like watering, pruning, and planting new saplings to replace aging trees. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a lasting impact on preserving the park’s natural beauty and clean air.
Linden Allée
Like many European parks and gardens, Olmsted often included a grand allée bordered by trees. Our park has Linden Allée which is a straight path bordered by American Linden Trees along the Upper Path.
Olmsted believed that as you turn a corner, a new vista opens to delight your walk through the park.
At the end of Linden Allée, the Conservancy has planted 3 white Dogwood trees, and on the opposite side of the path, 3 pink Dogwood trees.
Trail Refurbishment
Trustees developed plans to refurbish trails that have become overgrown and unused. Trails were refurbished with the help of volunteers from local companies as well as from Caldwell University.
In addition to the paved pathways through the park, there are trails that go through the woods. Some go through the deeper woods and are very steep, some are easy walking trails.
