SUMMARY:Trees of the Prairie Ridge Arboretum
DESCRIPTION:Explore the Jesse P. Perry III Arboretum at Prairie Ridge and get to know our local trees! On this 1-to-2-mile hike\, we’ll dive into the basics of tree identification and share interesting facts about ten different species each session.\n\nYou’ll also discover how to become a contributor to Nature’s Notebook\, a collaborative science project where you can help researchers by tracking the life cycles of trees throughout the seasons.\n\nThis program welcomes ages 12+. All children must be accompanied by an adult throughout our time together. Please dress for the weather and wear closed-toed shoes. Meet at the green entrance gate. This program repeats monthly with varying tree species
