Enjoy a brisk winter afternoon learning the steps involved in turning tree sap into delicious maple syrup. The whole family will enjoy spending the day outdoors, hiking on our trails, and partaking in our Maple Sugaring Challenge.  Also enjoy some hot chocolate, maple vendors, and more. It’s going to be a sweet day!

Are you curious about the identities of some of your favorite trees at the Arboretum? Would you like to learn some simple strategies for identifying your most admired trees here and at home? Join our Curatorial Director of Horticulture John Beirne for a special walkabout through the Arboretum grounds and become acquainted with many of our notable and beautiful specimen and woodland trees. John will introduce important aspects of plant taxonomy and familiarize participants with the correct protocols to properly identify trees growing at the Arboretum and the local area.

As it is easy to attract up to 32 different species of native birds to a backyard, bird feeding will provide hours of entertainment for everyone in the family. Not only will you learn how to use bird food, feeders, water and shelter to attract the widest variety of birds, but you will learn to identify the common and not so common birds that may visit your feeder.

Welcome to the Wisner House Coffee Club! Join us for 5 upcoming coffee workshops featuring brewing, sensory and roasting skills, as well as fascinating information about green coffee and bean origins. You’ll have fun, meet other coffee fans, and learn a lot. Register for one or all! Each workshop is independent of the others.

Our first workshop is Taste Sensation. We’ll explore the science of taste and learn how to spot famous coffee notes – like chocolate, fruit, and nuts. You’ll get practical experience making a French Press the right way and find out why lovers of coffee praise this brewing method.

Masks are mandatory and registration is required unless otherwise noted.

Thank you to everyone who came to pick up Valentine materials yesterday at our Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service.

Return all cards to the Arboretum any time before February 10 to the container outside the Stackhouse Education Center. Thank you!
