Speaker: Kathleen Salisbury, Director of the Ambler Arboretum of Temple University,
Adjunct Professor, Landscape Architecture and Horticulture
Is an Arboretum an Arboretum after a Tornado Kills All the Trees?
On September 1, 2021 an EF2 Tornado
catastrophically damaged the horticultural displays and
botanical collections of the Ambler Arboretum, leaving
the faculty, staff, students and community wondering
what will become of this space. Learn about the
tornado, the recovery, and plans for the future of the
Arboretum and how it continues to be a place for
education, inspiration, recreation and contemplation
despite, or maybe because of, the storm damage.
