Get to know your heritage.




I've been away from the blog for a bit, but haven't stopped thinking about trees. It's like a daily meditation for me now that I need to get up so early to walk the dog for my new job. I've also had some formal classroom introduction to the subject in the Urban Forestry class I'm taking at PSU summer term, so there's lots brewing in terms of my understanding of urban trees.

But back to the heritage trees. I knew there were a lot on my street, but I had no idea until I saw this map that there are actually 3 kinds of elm tree on my street- Dutch, English, American. That's not including this Bigleaf Linden nestled just at the foot of the west hills - one of my favorites. Do you know where your heritage trees are?
