“Vanishing Acts: Trees Under Threat” at The Morton Arboretum June 21, 2012

Although the Pacific Yew tree is the source of one of our most valuable cancer treatments, loggers historically considered it a trash species, and threw it away when logging other trees. What other life-changing discoveries remain hidden in our forests and national parks? Discover more about the plight of the world’s trees in “Vanishing Acts: Trees Under Threat.” This small outdoor exhibit premiered at The Morton Arboretum, and is traveling to other arboreta and botanical gardens across the U.S. All ages. Free with Arboretum admission. Conifer Collection
