Event Details

Trees have been around for few hundred million years and are some of the oldest, tallest, and largest living things on the Earth. But the reasons behind their success are just starting to be understood.

Join arborist Christopher Roddick for a tour of the Hollister House tree collection, exploring the science and natural history of trees. We’ll cover the identification of some common native trees as well as a few rare ones and hear how they adapt and responded to changes in the environment over time. We’ll discover how trees form fungal partners and interspecies networks to communicate and stay healthy. And finally, we’ll talk about how we can be better stewards of the land we share with these wonderful ancient beings.

Note: This is an outdoor walking tour starting at 9:00am. Dress for the weather and walking on uneven terrain, and periods of standing. Group size limited, early registration suggested.
