Drought Impact Assessment Class:

Saturday, September 24, 9:00 am

This summer Eastern Massachusetts has experienced historic drought and heat - and the landscape has suffered greatly. These challenging growing conditions offer us a window into the future, as longer and more severe heat waves and droughts are predicted all over the world. As keepers of a significant plant collection, what have we learned from the drought's and heat’s impact and how do we plan for the future? Join arboretum director Debbie Merriam for a survey of the drought’s impact on the arboretum’s plant collection and learn about the Wakefield staff's efforts to keep the collection thriving into the future.

Join us on Saturday September 24th at 9am at the Mary May Binney Wakefield Arboretum, located at 1465 Brush Hill Road. Tickets are free. Please purchase a ticket via this link or call to RSVP: 617-333-0924 x22.
