The 1938 hurricane blew down trees throughout large areas of New England including the Arboretum. This gave way to a new round of vegetation change and produced mound and cradle topography over much of the Arboretum. In the 1930's, the chestnut blight removed Chestnut as a forest tree, and today the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid continues to defoliate and kill our native Eastern Hemlock. Publications The Arboretum publishes a series of low-cost bulletins on various timely natural history, horticultural and conservation topics. These publications are critical to our mission of educating the public about basic ecological concepts as well as environmental conservation.
Publications are available by post.
