Saturday’s Tree Symposium was a big success, judging by the enthusiastic comments from 70 participants. Four excellent speakers engaged the audience with the latest information on the impact of trees in our environment, as well as the challenges facing their survival. Bruce Crawford, MCPC Garden Manager, gave the final talk on special trees at the Arboretum and led a walking tour to point them out. At the end, he demonstrated best practices for tree planting at the edge of the great lawn in front of the mansion. We are grateful to Bartlett Tree Experts for sponsoring the event and donating the tree that was planted. Read more in the upcoming issue of Arboretum Leaves. Judy Snow
