The Clemente Course provides college level instruction in the humanities, with the award of college credits, to individuals at no cost and in an accessible and welcoming community setting. Participants study four disciplines: literature, art history, moral philosophy, and American history.

Asian Longhorned Beetles were discovered recently infesting 6 trees in Jamaica Plain near the Arnold Arboretum. This pest, imported in packing materials from China, could destroy most of our common shade trees in parks and forests, in our yards and along our streets. DEHC is helping to get the word out to inform citizen observers so many eyes are looking out for this invasive pest.
