Fairview Cemetery Announces Historic Tree Lecture

WESTFIELD — Fairview Cemetery is proud to announce the first of its 2025 series of lectures. This initial lecture will highlight the Union County Historic Tree Grove located on the campus of Union College, Cranford.

The trees in this historic grove are the witnesses to important historical events in American history and remain an important legacy to the past. Approximately 75 historic trees are planted in the grove, reaching back in history to George Washington through 9/11. These trees have grown mainly from seeds and clones for over the past 30 years.

The lecturer and project manager of the Historic Grove is Dr. Tom Ombrello, Senior Professor of Biology at Union College. This lecture will explore how the trees were selected, grown and incorporated into the campus of Union College, and will be accompanied by an illustrated presentation. Several of these trees are noteworthy and will be covered in detail.

The lecture is scheduled for Sunday, March 9, at 2 p.m., in the Fairview Cemetery Conference Room. Seating is limited to 35 individuals and signup will begin online on Friday, February 28. Please go to the Friends of Fairview webpage, https://friendsoffairview1.org/registration, for the link to sign up. The Fairview Conference Center is located at 1100 East Broad Street, Westfield. Parking is available on the premises. This event is free to the public.
