How does a forest tell a story? Through the years the Blue Hills Reservation has experienced many droughts, floods, and forest fires. All of these natural phenomena (and more) have an impact on plants and how they grow.
With Debbie Merriam, the Executive Director of the Mary May Binney Arboretum, we’ll explore how the Blue Hills forests tell a detailed history of the land itself. We’ll be learning all about native and non-native plants and how they individually impact the greater ecosystem. This program is welcome to people of all ages!
