The Pocantico Center’s vast campus is home to thousands of trees, including both indigenous and imported species. Towering beauties like beechnut, cherry, Japanese maple, and wisteria embellish the visual landscape, capture carbon, protect against erosion, and provide habitats for local wildlife.
As the leaves begin to change and brilliant fall colors emerge, guests are invited to wander the grounds with arborist Peter Strom, who will share insights about the histories, life cycles, and care of the estate’s robust tree life.
Please note that some parts of this tour will require walking uphill, on uneven terrain and gravel paths, and up stairs. Please wear sturdy, comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing. Sunscreen and bug spray are recommended.
The rain date for this event is Thursday, October 17.
