Greetings!
Fortunately, we have several parks with 100-year-old trees!
You are correct in that The West Woods definitely has a few, one of which is a large Tulip Tree along the brand-new Tulip Trail. To find the tree, just take a look at a West Woods trail map on our website, which shows the tree’s location along the trail.
There are also several large beech and tulip trees that are more than 100 years old at Sunnybrook Preserve. Bessie Benner Metzenbaum Park has several large beech trees along the Overlook Trail that, without a doubt, exceed 100 years, too.
These are just a few examples. If you’d like more specific information/directions, please feel free to give me a call at my desk.
