Interested in learning about trees in Mount Rainier?

Hi Mount Rainier-area folks and tree fans,

I wanted to let you know about a fall tree tour I'm helping organize for this Saturday (November 1, 2014) afternoon in Mount Rainier. It will be led by our former mayor and current roadside tree care expert Bryan Knedler, who is a great guide and very knowledgeable about trees and about our city's history. 

The prime trees for fall color will be red maples, serviceberries, black gums, zelkovas, and oaks of various sorts. The pace of the walk will be relaxed, with plenty of time for questions and observations. We'll start at 3pm at Spring Park, 33rd and Shepherd St intersection, SW corner. 

It looks like it'll be a beautiful sunny fall day but chilly, so bring a coat, and if I can get myself organized I'll try to have a warm drink of some kind available (unless someone else wants to volunteer to do this!)
Hope to see some of you there, and please spread the word. All are welcome, not just Mount Rainier residents.

Gabe
