Brookline is proud to be the home of Norway Maples, Red Oaks, Lindens, Sycamores, European Beeches, Ash, Gingko, and many other species of trees. In 2009, a Brookline tree survey resulted in a count of approximately 11,000 trees along the 104 miles of road they surveyed. Join a naturalist as we walk the quiet neighborhood roads around Coolidge Corner in order to focus on the trees that line our streets and shade our parks. On our tour you will learn identification skills and interesting facts about trees you see everyday. You'll come away with a deeper appreciation for the urban forest that fills our sidewalks and backyards. Bring a pencil and a journal to take notes, make rubbings, or sketch details. In an effort to keep our walking tours affordable, and to gain some financial support for our program, we are offering "pay what you will" options. Please choose the payment amount that is best for you. Thank you for your generosity!
