Salve Regina is hosting several activities in conjunction with Newport Arboretum Week, which calls attention to the city’s legendary urban forest that is now suffering from significant losses in its population of magnificent Gilded Age era trees.

Newport is the first city in the United States with four professionally accredited arboreta – the Newport Arboretum, the Newport Mansions Arboretum and the Arboretum at Salve Regina and the Frederick Law Olmsted Park and Arboretum.

For a full slate of Newport Arboretum Week activities across the city, visit the Newport Arboretum website.

Public lecture: “The Eden of America: Newport Landscapes Through the Ages”

6 p.m. Wednesday, April 26, Ochre Court, $10, purchase tickets

Award-winning architectural historian John Tschirch will discuss four centuries of landscape design and horticulture in Newport. The preservation of heritage sites of international significance is of foremost interest to Tschirch, who has lectured widely in the U.S. and abroad on architecture, landscapes and historic cities.

In recognition of Arbor Day, members of the Salve Regina community are invited to this ceremonial tree planting at the home of Sister Therese Antone, University chancellor.
