Storm Recovery

Shortly after the windstorm, more than 150 workers from multiple public agencies gathered to assist the ongoing cleanup effort at the Arboretum. Our assessment of damage showed 235 trees a total loss and over 700 requiring extensive restoration pruning.  The entire Arboretum staff is making a remarkable contribution in repairing damage and preparing to reopen on Monday, December 26. We are also enormously grateful to our volunteers. As you may have seen or heard, the LA Times, KPCC, KNBC, KCBS and others have reported the Arboretum story.
