Ecological Aftermath of Helene
with Dan Lazar
Tuesday, May 27 | 1:30 pm - 3:30 pm

Where do songbirds go during a hurricane? Which trees survive hurricane-force winds, and which are felled? What are the long-term effects of Hurricane Helene on ecosystems in the Southern Appalachian Mountains? These and other topics will be discussed during an illustrated lecture followed by a walk through hurricane-devastated portions of the Arboretum grounds
