“Every tree, tree branch, tree limb — everything that came down fell exactly where it needed to be to avoid damaging a building or a habitat,” Streiber says. “So we were focused yesterday on cleanup versus on any sort of significant repair or animal injury or anything. It was a very fortunate day.” According to Streiber, zoo officials pay special attention to weather forecasts to be prepared for events like this. At the time of the storm, there were already teams on site ready to weather it.
One mature tree destroyed by the storm was an almost 200-year-old white oak behind the historic DeGolyer Home, which would’ve been present when the DeGolyer family first lived there in 1839. When the tree split in two, one half landed on the recently renovated roof of the house. Mature trees are irreplaceable. Many of the flowers, luckily, are annuals that will be replanted in their next season.
For both the zoo and the arboretum, trees and physical structures were not all that took a blow. Time and money spent clearing debris and making repairs is time and money they won’t receive from the public.
