Fall Color Peak?

Forest trees in fall at Crow’s Nest Preserve

By Daniel Barringer, Preserve Manager.

Certainly the red maples are at their peak this weekend, as are dogwood trees. Spicebush is turning a warm yellow.

We haven’t had a frost yet so when we do that may sharpen the fall colors, but it’s pretty great right now.

A weeping willow beyond the footbridge complements the backlit grasses of our meadows. Turfgrass is still bright green which makes a nice contrast with the fall color.

You can see a lot of color from our roadsides and I hope you take some time to enjoy it.
