If Trees Could Talk…

… the stories they would tell. Rough Point’s trees have witnessed 150 years of history and NRF is launching a project to unlock their secrets. As part of its commitment to preserving Newport’s history, inside and out, NRF will be conducting a survey of Rough Point’s historic tree collection and invites the public to participate in this fascinating learning opportunity. We’ll kick-off the project with a lecture given by Chris Fletcher of Bartlett Tree Experts, an international leader in the care of historic arboretums, and Sarah Drake of Madison Spencer Architects, an expert in landscape design history.

Lecture, accompanied by hot cider and autumn sweets, in Rough Point’s Great Hall, followed by an in-depth look at select trees outside.
