Wormy Wood
American chestnut used to be one of the dominate species in our forests. In the early 1900s, a fungus nearly wiped out the species. Today, much of its lumber - called wormy chestnut - is harvested from those dying trees.

The Olmsted Brothers
Celebrated landscape architects John C. and Frederick (Jr.) Olmsted created the first countywide master plan for Metro Parks in 1925.
