Tree Trail Trek with Stephen Fonzo

The Trees and Ecosystem of Southside Lions Park Lake

Description: We will take a leisurely walk around Southside Lions Loop, where you will learn to recognize the most common trees in the park. We will discuss topics such as the importance of water and biodiversity, the effects of flooding and land disturbance, indigenous plant use, local history, and opportunities for eco-volunteering.
