Tree Walk: Oxon Run Park
December 9, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am EST
Join Casey Trees with Tree Ambassador Glenn Hall for a Tree Walk at Oxon Run!
We’ll start off with an easy-paced tree walk, where Glenn will give an overview of the history of Oxon Run Park and then point out some of the species of trees in the park, and finally go over the importance of green spaces such as Oxon Run Park.
A little about Glenn: “I am a graduate student in UDC CAUSES program studying Urban Agriculture. I am also Director of Operations for Friends of Oxon Run. I consider myself an environmentalist through and through and look forward to working towards a greater and greener future for my community and the entire world.”
