Thanks to efforts of Michael McCue, GLH partner, a string of second generation Hiroshima survivor trees growing across the Northeast, braving the elements along with the rest of us—as succinctly described by our friends at St. Anselm College, New Hampshire

'Like everything else up here it (the Ginkgo) had spring drought, summer heat, and fall drowning, but it’s doing fine!'

Thanks to the untiring efforts of GLH partner Michael McCue, gingko saplings were planted at Saint Anselm College and on the grounds of Tufts University.

On April 6, ginkgo saplings were taken to Avon, MA, thanks to the cooperation of our co-founder’s brother. Saplings were directly handed to Mr. Michel McCue, town administrator, who entrusted them to Harvard University’s Arnold Arboretum for care and until they are mature for planting. They will be planted at various symbolic sites in Massachusetts throughout the coming year.
