Join PHA staff, Grounds Manager Ian Jochems and Horticulturist Jack Morgan, for an informative walking tour focused on Beech Leaf Disease (BLD) on Martha’s Vineyard. This public event will provide an in-depth look at BLD—what it is, how it affects beech trees, along with different treatments and methods that have shown promising results.

Following a brief informational session, participants will embark on a guided tour through the arboretum to observe ongoing research and management efforts over the past three years, along with the results seen so far. This tour is designed to equip attendees with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions for their own trees.

Please dress appropriately for the weather and light trail walking.
