Program Series: Nature

Former WVBG president and Core Arboretum manager Jon Weems will discuss some of the seasonal changes trees go through in anticipation of colder days to come. Fall is also the season farmers traditionally turned their attentions to their woodlots, selecting trees to cut for fuel, fence posts, and other uses Jon will mention. Free for WVBG members, $15 for non-members.

THIS PROGRAM IS NOW FULL.

Join local naturalist Ellen Hrabovsky for a walk in the woods, rain or shine, to observe nature during the cold time of the year. We will proceed from the lower parking lot and wander into the woods by way of the Wetland Boardwalk, taking note along the way of identifying features of trees and shrubs. We will also see evidence of wildlife activity. Nature always has surprises for me on my forest walks so let’s see what we can find. Best for children 10 and older and dress for the weather. Free for WVBG members, $15 for non-members.
