A stately oak tree stands in the snow-covered grand meadow of Delaware Park in Buffalo, New York. A symbol of strength and endurance, the oak can live 500 to 600 years and grow up to 100 feet if left undisturbed.

Frederick Law Olmsted, America’s first and greatest landscape architect, planned the city’s system of six major parks and connecting parkways representing one of his largest bodies of work. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the system comprises seventy five percent of the city’s parkland. 
During the 1901 Pan American Exposition, Buffalo was celebrated not only as the City of Light, but the City of Trees.
