Peep this! Flossmoor’s first Guided Fall Tree Walk draws a crowd eager to learn more

Flossmoor loves its trees. And David Becker loves talking about them.

And a light rain the afternoon of Thursday, Oct. 19, was not enough to keep a crowd of roughly 30 people from sticking around for the full hour of Flossmoor’s first Guided Fall Tree Walk, led by Becker, the village’s forestry maintenance technician. Despite the weather, the timing was perfect for enjoying the green, yellow, orange and red mix of the season’s leaves.
