Oakwood Cemetery is home to many great trees and now you can enjoy a self-guided tour through some of these. With the help of Syracuse Community Geography program, we have prepared this interactive map that can be viewed on computer or smart phone by CLICKING HERE.
Tree Trail
In 2020, board member, Hilary Donohue created a self-guided tree trail.
Hilary identified 20 unique trees throughout Oakwood Cemetery and has installed name plaques on each tree to help you find and identify the trees.
The plaques were purchased by HOCPA thanks to your generous donations that fund our mission and projects such as this.
You can review photographs of the trees below and also a map of the trail.
Happy Hunting!
Can you find these 20 trees?
