Ever wonder which trees do well along a Champaign bike path?
The Champaign Park District just planted 70 trees at Heritage Park along the Greenbelt Bikeway Trail. Staff, local master naturalists and volunteers did the planting, and the mix includes black tupelo, Dunstan chestnut, American linden, river birch, sweetgum, sycamore, tuliptree and umbrella magnolia. The work was funded by a $12,000 grant from the Lumpkin Family Foundation, the fourth year in a row the foundation has supported the district's tree plantings.
Fall planting season is wrapping up, so this list can give you ideas for spring. Take a walk along the Greenbelt Bikeway and see which species you like.
