Tree Walk. A little
known fact for many visitors and residents alike is Sylva’s diverse tree
population. The downtown alone is home to more than 50 species, with 44 of
them detailed in the 1.2-mile Sylva Tree Walk that meanders through its
quaint streets. Sylva is also a designated Tree City USA, as recognized by
the U.S. Federal Government. Col. Theodore Fuller, local author and
artist, created the tree walk in 1981. The Sylva Garden Club currently
maintains the walk, which features a guide book, map and small signs at
the base of each tree indicating its common name. The walk officially
begins in the shade of Bicentennial Park near the old courthouse, but
folks are welcome to pick a parking place and start at any point along the
trail. For information about the tree walk, visit the Jackson County
Visitors Center on West Main Street, or call (800) 962-1911.
