HUGE thanks to the nearly 200 volunteers who helped us plant hundreds of trees in Forest Park Sunday. You're helping restore and sustain #ForestParkForever
Two volunteers crouch in Successional Forest as they place a young sapling tree in the ground. Two volunteers dig with shovels to create the hole for a new tree to be planted in the Nature Playscape. A truckbed holds dozens of young trees ready to be planted, of which 12 are visible in 20-gallon buckets. The trees' trunks are wrapped in protective white coating.

Pssst...the champion witch hazel is blooming, over by the Victorian Bridge.
Yellow strands from the bloom of a witch hazel tree spread out before the tree's double-trunk.

We're touched by the support and volunteer interest in Forest Park's recovery. Our team and City partners have been working hard since the moment the tornado hit. Here's info on ways to help and what to know if visiting outdoor spaces. www.forestparkforever.org/tornado-reco...

If you can't see the forest for the trees then you're probably near a magnolia. 💛
Yellow magnolia blooms from a tree in the foreground with a tribute tree tag hanging from a branch and a tribute bench in the background in Forest Park. Red and yellow magnolia blooms mix in the foreground with the roof of the Dennis & Judith Jones Visitor and Education Center in the background in Forest Park.

The finishing touches for the East Waterways project are coming together this spring. Thursday we did an all-staff planting morning to help the team that manages this zone: About 3-4,000 plugs and shrubs planted that morning!
Water spills over Wise Falls as Forest Park Forever members in the background plant trees and shrubs on the hillside leading up to Clayton Avenue. The Taylor Kindle River extension curves to Jefferson Lake, as Forest Park Forever staff members crouch and kneel to plant small grass plugs along the water's edge.

We now have chess tables outside the Visitor Center, and you can check out pieces from the Information Desk inside. ♟️The tables were previously next to Steinberg Rink but have been relocated due to construction of the Glade.

I see the Arch! Happy 314 Day, St. Louis. Come play in Forest Park and visit our friends at the Art Museum, History Museum, Zoo, Science Center and more. SO many amenities make this an amazing and very St. Louis urban park.

Two yellow blooms pop up out of green stems of a daffodil, with the Victorian Bridge in Forest Park in the background.

To answer the Forest Park Master Plan, how do you turn an aging outdoor ice rink and 68-year-old building into a space that supports that *plus* year-round activity? The STL community gave us lots of ideas, and we have an exciting plan. #Steinberg #TheGlade www.forestparkforever.org/news/steinbe...

Is that a wood snake? 🌳 🐍 Nope. Just some beautiful repurposed trees in the 17-acre Anne O'C. Albrecht Nature Playscape in #ForestPark. For kids *and* adults to explore.
