September News from Metro Parks

Greetings!

There's something for everyone this September in your Metro Parks. The 48th Annual Fall Hiking Spree continues through November 30. Stunning fall colors will begin to appear in our 14 parks later in the month and naturalists will offer seasonal programs for all ages and interests.

See you on the trails,

September Outdoor Almanac

Many trees, like maples, ashes and black gum, begin to show their fall colors. The last wildflower blooms of asters and goldenrods (pictured) add even more color to open fields. Migrating birds are heading to warmer climates in South America and the Caribbean. Thousands of visitors hit the trails for the annual Fall Hiking Spree.

Fall Hiking Spree

Seiberling Nature Realm, the park district's administrative offices, all Acme Fresh Market stores and on the park district's website. For more information, call 330-865-8065.
