Maples on Maple

On Maple Avenue in Downers Grove, the Forest Preserve is named Maple Grove. While the name of the street and the name of the preserve are the same, the fact is that the forest preserve is named for the trees it features rather than the street it faces. And the predominant type is the sugar maple.
Result? On a sunny October day, this preserve is the one where you will find many many yellow leaves, making the sunshine a deep gold throughout the forest. A powerful relaxing color presence that is the epitome of fall color.
