Summit, NJ Reeves-Reed Arboretum, together with the City of Summit's Shade Tree Advisory Committee, presents three powerful programs, in our returning series called Fall In Love With Trees.
• The Story of the 9/11 Memorial Trees – Thursday, September 9. On the 20th anniversary of 9/11, we welcome Paul Cowie of Paul Cowie + Associates to speak about his firm's work on tree design and planting at the National September 11 Memorial at Ground Zero in New York City.
• Why Trees are Important and Simple Acts to Protect Them – Thursday, September 23. At a time when trees face natural and human threats, John Beirne, RRA's Curatorial Director of Horticulture explores ways to protect our green spaces, both public and private, and creates enthusiasm for others in our community to do the same. He will also share some personal tree picks for native species that are easy to grow here in New Jersey.
• Public Trees: Past, Present, Future – Thursday, October 7. John Linson, Forester for the City of Summit will take us on a journey through 120 years of tree planting and maintenance trends, highlighting the efforts that have established Tree City USA status for Summit and the expansive, beautiful tree canopy we enjoy today. Linson will provide guidance on how property owners can implement these best practices for tree care and pruning at home to keep trees healthy and strong into the future.
All three programs are being offered both onsite and virtually starting at 7:30 pm. There is no charge for these sessions, but space is limited, and reservations are encouraged.
