Please join us for the world premiere of a documentary film about the Elm Recovery Project (ERP). The ERP began in 1998 through the efforts of former Arboretum interpretive horticulturalist Henry Kock. The ongoing aim of the project is to assist the recovery of white elm from the impacts of Dutch elm disease by reintroducing genetically diverse populations of disease-tolerant elms to the Ontario landscape, and was aptly described by the media as a “dating service” for lonely elms. Now, nearly 30 years on, a new film explores the project and the results. A panel discussion will follow with current and former Elm Recovery Project Arboretum staff. Popcorn provided!
