Cedar Hill Cemetery Foundation invites you to join arborist John Kehoe on Saturday, June 1, 2024 at 10:00 am for a guided walk featuring Cedar Hill Cemetery’s rare and notable trees.

Cedar Hill encompasses 270 acres of landscaped woodlands, waterways, and memorial grounds. The tour, through the ornamental foreground and historic memorial sections, will highlight trees such as the beautiful European Weeping Beech, the unusual (for the Northeast) Umbrella Magnolia, and the Huss Hemlock named for a resident of Cedar Hill.

The Tree Walk is part of Connecticut Forest & Park Association’s Trails Day Weekend. A nationwide initiative, Trails Day encourages the public to explore the great outdoors.

Admission is free but advance reservations are suggested.

Registration opens on May 8, 2024 and may be made on Connecticut Forest & Park Association’s website at https://trailsday.org/events/cedar-hill-tree-walk/. 

Cedar Hill Cemetery is located at 453 Fairfield Avenue, Hartford. The walk begins near the bridge along the entrance drive.
