Storms Irene and Alfred left a trail of destruction
throughout Middletown
in 2011.
The Wadsworth/Kerste
deBoer Arboretum suffered damage or loss to over 20% of its historic trees. The Wadsworth Mansion
at Long Hill incurred thousands of dollars
in lost trees, including
100-year-old oaks and pines.
The Wadsworth Legacy Tree Restoration Fund has been created
to replant trees lost at these two historic landscape properties. We will accept donations in any amount, with all funds devoted to planting and maintaining new trees at
both sites. Donors can also select a tree from our wish list and dedicate it to
an individual or organization.
Celebrate the start-up of this important fund with wine and
hors d’oeuvres at Long Hill Estate on Thursday, April 26 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
Ted Esselstyn, co-founder of City Bench, will speak about
his company, which recycles city trees from all over Connecticut into museum-quality furniture.
Wood from the Arboretum and from the Wadsworth Mansion
at Long Hill has been used in his furniture.
