| Abstract/Contents: | "'A living tree is a much better monument than a piece of granite.' So said arborist Dr. John Williams (1874-1965), who decades ago planted thousands of trees at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, N.Y., transforming it from rolling countryside into one of the most densely treed and beautiful parkland courses in America. Oak Hill, site of three U.S. Opens since 1956, is densely treed no more. On March 2-3, a severe ice storm struck the Rochester area, toppling more than 100 trees at Oak Hill and damaging thousands of others. Many of Oak Hill's 870 members immediately volunteered to help clear the area." |
