Original work by BGC member Pam Allen which depicts
the dramatic Catalpa speciosa next to the City of Bath Fire &
Rescue Station at High & Winter Streets and illustrates our theme for
the year of “a salute to our trees”. Bath has over 15,000 trees
including 15 state champions. See our tree
hints. |
