Welcome to the Seward Park Audubon Center's self-guided tour series! Let these routes serve as introductions to deeper exploration and awareness of the natural world. Feel free to bring a field guide if you would like to go into finer detail. Several unique species of trees have been noted. We invite you to begin differentiating between our Proud Evergreens!
HOW TO USE: This route can be done in either direction, but it is recommended to follow the pins in alphabetical order. Tap the first pin to get directions and press "START." Once arrived, tap the lower bar, or "more info" button. Use all of your senses to observe the tree! Continue hiking by tapping the next pin along the route and enabling directions. REMEMBER there are more trees than we could pin! Enjoy yourself and try to recognize the variety of evergreens as you continue along the route.
