I’m not surprised Longwood has one, they have one of everything else! I live half an hour from there, and have been there quite a few times. Also, I have two friends who were arborists there, so I do know a little about the place...
Did you work there after the ice storm in ‘13 I believe? I was there as a sub for Arborist Enterprises. It was a gnarly month of busted White Pine top after busted White Pine top all around the perimeter of the proper. After a few weeks we got the gift of cleaning up some of the giant hardwoods in the proper. That was a great time. There’s a good chance we’re acquainted with some of the same people!

I have never actually worked there, just visit somewhat regularly. I remember that storm though, we spent a month just picking up what fell before we started on everything else. That was a mess, especially with the White Pines. And yes, likely we know a few of the same people. Amazing how small this world is.
I interviewed for a job at Longwood in 1985. When I called to set my interview time I was told to wear work type clothing, that there would be a field requirement and also to expect a 6 person committee for the face to face interview. I was offered the job, but we could not come to terms on pay. I heard later that it caused a bit of a ripple in the management. It is a beautiful place for sure.
From what I hear, you have to enjoy 3 months of putting up lights, and another 3 to take them down!
From what I hear that is the best part. Before I interviewed I talked to Joe Bones who had worked there about life at Longwood. At that time there was a lot of politics involved.
