Tree ID Walk Planned for September 17 at Grey 
Towers 


MILFORD, PA – A guided walk and talk about the trees on the grounds of Grey 
Towers National Historic Site, 122 Old Owego Turnpike, Milford, PA, is planned 
for Saturday, September 17, 2011, at 1:30 pm. 

US Forest Service staff will lead participants throughout the estate on a 90-minute 
walk to identify and provide some history about many of the native and unique 
trees planted at the estate in the early 1900s. 

The Pinchot family planted more than 100 trees on the grounds after it was clear-
cut around the turn of the century. Today the estate is a living example of 
conservation and resource management. 

Please dress for the weather (the walk is rain or shine) and wear appropriate 
footwear for uneven terrain. 

Regular tour fees ($6 adults; $5 seniors; $3 youth; under 12 free) apply for this 
guided walk and participants have the option of touring the mansion for half-price 
following the walk. 

For information please call 570-296-9630 or send an email to 
greytowers@fs.fed.us.
