BARTLETT ARBORETUM RESPONDS!
Dear Members, Friends and Concerned Citizens,
In recent months the Bartlett Arboretum & Gardens has come under unjust scrutiny in an effort by individuals looking for potential sources of groundwater contamination. While the Bartlett Arboretum shares the community's concerns in this matter, we are surprised at the level of accusations being made prior to any scientific evidence being presented.
Past environmental practices throughout the nation were suspect and unfortunately accepted. While we now understand many of these practices to be dangerous to our health and the environment, dealing with these situations should concentrate on cleanup and proper science.
Over the years the Bartlett Arboretum has earned a reputation as a leader in environmental stewardship and as a valuable community resource. For this reason we fully intend to defend our reputation, legally or otherwise, from any unfounded accusations.
It is an exciting time at the Bartlett Arboretum! Our new Silver Educational Center will allow us to increase our educational programs for the benefit of the community. We hope you will visit the Arboretum and enjoy the botanical wonders of every season.
