💨 Abstract

The article primarily describes Planting Fields Arboretum State Historic Park on Long Island, one of the few Gold Coast estates that retains its original acreage. The 409-acre estate, owned by William Robertson Coe and Mai Rogers Coe in 1913, features a Tudor Revival mansion and landscapes designed by the Olmsted Brothers. Recent renovations focus on biodiversity and native plantings, replacing beech trees with oaks and reducing meadow mowing.
