Join Fairmount Park Conservancy and Andrew Kirkpatrick, Urban Greening Coordinator with Parks and Recreation’s Farm Philly Program, for a two-mile tree identification hike along the Belmont Plateau Cross Country Course and the historic Trolley Trail.

From sweetgums to tulip poplars to a variety of oaks— our urban forests are teeming with many tree species. On this hike, we’ll learn to identify commonly found trees based on leaves, branches, and bark. We’ll take time to observe the body language of trees, why they grow the way they do, and what we can learn about the life of the forest.

This hike is part of our Second Saturday Guided Hike Series. These hikes occur from 10 AM–12 PM on the second Saturday of every month (May–November). All of these hikes depart from Belmont Plateau in West Fairmount Park. Please see below for the full schedule.
