The Hurricane That Changed Mount Auburn
September 22 @ 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Mount Auburn Cemetery lost more than 800 trees in a single day and over 1,000 more suffered significant damage. Despite all the damage, the Cemetery saw an opportunity to replant and replace what was lost while expanding and diversifying its collection. From 1939-1940 alone, over 1,500 new trees and shrubs were introduced to the Cemetery, many of which are still standing today.
Join Jim Gorman, arborist and MAC staff member, for a curated tour of several of the now-mature trees planted after the hurricane.
