Hello, Uptown!
Even living in an urban neighborhood, there’s plenty of nature to discover.
A pilot program is underway to showcase trees Bankers Hill – through self-guided walking tours.
Brian Bagnall, of the Community Forest Advisory Board, had the idea for Happy Tree Walks and has developed walks through Bankers Hill that highlight historic sites, favorite small businesses, and of course, its trees.
Walks range from highlighting the historic trees once planted by Kate Sessions in Balboa Park West to exploring new-growth trees in Olive Street Park to a walk that highlights modern village life along Fifth Avenue among trees and mixed-use buildings to exploring the many jacaranda trees sprinkled across Bankers Hill.
Reporter Drew Sitton has the full story.
