timberland abington vibram (Visitante)
| | Summer is a good time to explore our cool, dark forests, and thanks to the efforts of early conservationists, many local parks have magnificent trees, including Elgin, Tynehead, Redwood, and Green Timbers Park and Urban Forest. Efforts were made to protect Green Timbers as early as 1860, yet despite the fame of its giant trees and their attraction to tourists, the last virgin stand of timber was felled by 1930. How short sighted that was. The park was replanted with native conifers and the work of restoration continues today with the work of the Green Timbers Heritage Society. |
