Ecological Aftermath of Helene

with Dan Lazar

Wednesday, April 9  |  1:30 pm - 3:30 pm

BRN - Ecology Core

Where do songbirds go during a hurricane?  Which trees survive hurricane-force winds, and which are felled?  What are the long-term effects of Hurricane Helene on ecosystems in the Southern Appalachian Mountains?  These and other topics will be discussed during an illustrated lecture followed by a walk through hurricane-devastated portions of the Arboretum grounds
