The Trees of The Evergreens Cemetery

Janes Walk

SOLD OUT, WAITLIST FULL

Led By Sam Bishop, Education Director/Trees New York

Join The Evergreens Cemetery and Trees New York for this in-person walk about the trees and some history of The Evergreens Cemetery. The Evergreens Cemetery is not just a cemetery; it is also an ArbNet Level 2 arboretum.

Along the way, we will look at the “poplars” that are more closely related to magnolias, an impressive European beech, and some of Evergreens’ impressive oaks. We will also discuss the cemetery’s history and its role as a non-sectarian and “rural” cemetery.

The route is paved, with some slopes.

Reminder this is a working cemetery, please be respectful. See cemetery rules at: https://www.theevergreenscemetery.org/rules-regulations

Please bring comfortable shoes and dress for the weather.
