Landmark Trees Driving Tour, 11-16-2025 (10 miles)
Our Newsletter Editor, Terri Stackhouse, has designed an interesting route around Folsom to view many of our
impressive historic trees by car (or bike, if you prefer!). According to the City, "the Landmark Tree Registry recognizes particularly noteworthy specimens within the City that contribute to Folsom’s character and Distinctive by Nature adage." The route begins at 409 Coloma St., and heads out on a counter-clockwise loop to visit eight sites, all with trees remarkable for their appearance and age.
For example, see the magnificent, over 300 year-old Bergst Tree, a valley oak at Map Marker #8 in East Prewett Park!

Explore the Johnny Cash Trail with Parishay
Parishay Azer, a High School Senior and STEM Enthusiast, developed this interesting app which allows the user to identify natural elements like plants and animals and other points of interest in a geographic area. In this case, it is focused on Folsom's Johnny Cash Trail. The app is designed to be used on or near the trail itself. To find the trail and use the app, click here:
