Education is key to appreciating our natural world! Along Chapman Mountain’s Terry Trail, some of Chapman Mountain’s largest trees have been identified so hikers can learn more about these native wonders. Informational signage along the trail will identify a selection of trees. However, you can follow the entire tour here for expanded information about each of the 14 species and to identify additional trees along the way. This is also a great resource to learn more about native tree species that are featured as you hike other Land Trust properties.
