National Elm Collection

The National Elm Collection is a program dedicated to preserving and promoting a diverse range of elm tree varieties across the United States. It involves collecting, maintaining, and studying different elm species and cultivars to support conservation, improve resilience to pests and diseases like Dutch elm disease, and enhance urban environments. Through research and public engagement, the collection aims to protect elm trees’ genetic diversity and ensure they remain a valuable part of landscapes and ecosystems for future generations.
