How

By Margaret Jevic

The beginnings of Fall around Mariemont are here. Chilly mornings, crisp evenings, a few leaves on trees starting to put on their annual show. Walks around town become a sensory experience of leaves crunching underfoot (or paw), the smells of autumn air, and a breeze on your cheek. This wonderful welcoming of a new season is only possible thanks to our dear tree canopy, and if you’ve lived here for one week or 60 years, you know Mariemont has one of the best.

Each street in our Village was carefully planned by John Nolen to have its own special tree lining it. The wear and tear of time, budget, and resources has eaten away at this intention, and part of Mariemont Tree Advisory Board’s (TAB) mission is restoring tree canopy to every street in town.
