The Journey of a Canopy with Michael Mahanna

Description

Long before its official "Tree City" title, Utica was famous for its lush, elm-lined streets—so much so that planners named entire neighborhoods after the trees that shaded them. But the 1930s and '40s brought a devastating blow as Dutch elm disease and pests thinned the city's green canopy. Join NYS Certified Arborist Michael Mahanna for “The Journey of a Canopy”, a fascinating look at the evolution of Utica’s urban forest from the 1800s to the present, and what the future holds for our local environment
