Buffalo Grove | | Buffalo Grove: Best Places to See Fall Colors in Buffalo GroveWith Buffalo Grove being named a Tree City USA
since 1988, your neighborhood street may be lined up with mature trees resplendent in colors
during the months of fall. The best place to see fall colors in Buffalo Grove may be just by
walking out of the door and down the street.
Buffalo Grove also maintains several parks as wildlife conservatories.
With tall trees of different species and colors during fall time, these parks invite you to enter their small but intimate arboretums:

 | | | | Buffalo Grove: Living Tree Memorial ProgramYou can add
- a shade tree (oak, maple, locust)
- an ornamental tree (river birch, walnut, beech, flowering crab)
- an evergreen tree (white fir, blue spruce, Norway spruce, white pine)
to Buffalo Grove's canopy by donating a tree as a memorial to a loved one or a
commemoration of a special date. A shade tree will explode in color
in the fall; an ornamental tree will welcome spring with its budding flowers; an evergreen
tree will wear the white snow of winter like a glove over its green and blue branches. -- From VIP » Buffalo Grove Park District Last update: 09/10/22 |

| | | | Illinois: Illinois Tree Foliage The Illinois state tree is the White Oak.
In the fall, its leaves turn red or purple., and compete with the red, purple, orange, yellow, brown and bronze shades of
more than 250 tree species in the state.
The University of Illinois Extension compilation of
foliage trees is a
must-read before hitting the woods.
While you admire the stately trees, beware of the sneaky fall poison ivy.
In the fall it turns to a beautiful bright red color and still can give you a nasty rash.
