SUMMARY:Virtual Presentation: Derecho Five-Year Anniversary Update
DESCRIPTION:On August 10\, 2020\, a derecho swept through Cedar Rapids at wind speeds of 140 mph. This windstorm caused the loss of 75% of Brucemore’s tree canopy. Despite the impact on the landscape\, Brucemore demonstrated resilience with a focus on rebuilding for the future. Since August 2020\, we have planted just over 1\,100 trees and shrubs\, including 300 trees in the woodland\, a new arched hedge row\, 70 hemlocks\, and 200 bladdernuts. \nJoin us over Zoom to hear from CEO David Janssen about how Brucemore seized the opportunity to replenish the natural features of the 26-acre estate and leave them stronger and more beautiful than ever before. This presentation will explore how our landscape restoration project is creating new experiences for visitors to enjoy across the landscape\, embracing environmental sustainability by using native species and storm-resilient planting techniques\, and enhancing the history of the site by restoring original 1920s landscape features. \nDate: August 13 \nTime: 5:30 PM \nAdmission: Free. Register here to receive the meeting link.
