Did you know that this very location holds some of the oldest living organisms in our city? Bright eyes peeled, and sunny minds open, let's dive into the green grandeur awaiting us.\n\nFor those of you passionate about history, this particular spot on Lexington Ave gives us a symphony of shades and stories. As we stand here, take a moment to gaze at the fluttering leaves overhead. Their ancestors have witnessed the footprints of Ashland's settlers, resonating with tales of their survival and perseverance.\n\nAmong these veined veterans is the majestic White Oak, which has silently stood its ground for more than a century. Think it's just an ordinary tree? Well, don't judge a tree by its bark. This particular tree has lived through the construction of the first buildings on Lexington Ave and the upswing of Ashland into the vibrant city it is today.\n\nChildren, for those of you with a knack for counting, try to count the number of rings on the cross-section of that fallen limb next to the oak. Every ring symbolizes a year in the life of that tree. I'll let you in on a secret - last I counted, there were over 110!\n\nAs for the runners amongst us, have you ever noticed how your steps feel different here? The ground beneath us is part of the ancient \"Lexis\" soil series, known for its superior drainage and support for tree growth. So, the fact you're feeling those springy steps is all thanks to our leafy friends.\n\nLook around us, nature really does connect us all, doesn't it? The trees towering above us exist in harmony, inadvertently shaping the history, culture, and even science around them. Their roots have penetrated deep, not just into the ground, but to make up the very fabric of our home.\n\nOnce you have absorbed the beauty and the richness of history here at our first stop, do take a moment to feel the rough bark, smell the green leaves, and listen to the quiet whispers of the wind in the trees. It's an experience that just can't be Googled.\n\nAnd when you're ready, when you've savored the last of those whispers, signal to me. Together, we will move on to the next hidden gem on our Central Park Trail Tree Tour. Trust me, the best is yet to come!\n\n"},{"type":"link","title":"Information about oaks and the larval species they can
