The National Park Service (NPS) is preparing to bid farewell at the end of March to the "Olmsted Elm" located at Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site in Brookline, Massachusetts. This signature tree, which has been in declining health and structural stability for a number of years, was recently declared a hazard to both visitors and the adjacent historic Olmsted house. As a result, the NPS is now making arrangements for its removal and the eventual planting of a genetic clone in the same location.
