Fall Celebration of Trees at the Nannen Arboretum
Fall Celebration of Trees at the Nannen Arboretum
ELLICOTTVILLE - Autumn. The third in our cycle of four seasons and, arguably, the most beautiful. What better place to admire up close the trees that bestow upon us their magnificent beauty at this time of year than at the Nannen Arboretum?
On Sunday, September 26th, the Nannen Arboretum Society, Inc. will host its annual Fall Celebration of Trees. This event will place from 12:30-3:30pm, rain or shine, at the Arboretum, 28 Parkside Drive in Ellicottville.
Volunteers will be stationed throughout the Arboretum to provide interesting facts and answer your questions. Do you know what a Hugelkulture is? What is a snag? What is the most unique bark you’ve seen?
Mir Ali and Annette Ieda will provide musical entertainment throughout the afternoon. Mir Ali is the Director of the Amherst School of Guitar and has been President of the Buffalo Guitar Society and the Artistic Director of the Rantucci International Guitar Festival and competition for the past 15 years. Anette Ieda, local Ellicottville resident, is the Musical Minister at the Holy name of Mary Church and a member of the Southern Tier Symphony. Annette is versatile on many instruments and will be playing her harp at Sunday’s celebration.
Light refreshments will be provided on the Rotary Patio, and a limited number of plants and other nature-related items will be available for sale.
Please join the Nannen Arboretum Society this Sunday afternoon. The mission of the Nannen Arboretum Society, Inc. is to raise awareness among our residents and visitors about the beauty, diversity and ecologic contribution of trees. For more information, email info@nannenarboretum.org.
