Trip to Morton Arboretum

.

Join the Friends of the Arboretum for Earth Day at the Morton Arboretum. We will tour the East Woods to see spring ephemerals, explore the Schulenburg Prairie and visit the Herbarium. Our guide for the day will be Andrew Hipp, PhD, Director of the Herbarium and Senior Scientist in Plant Systematics. We hope to see some spring wildflowers, including some not found at the UW-Madison Arboretum. We will learn about the restoration of the 100-acre prairie and the experimental plots. At the Herbarium we will get a behind the scenes glimpse of how the Herbarium aids biodiversity research. This is a wonderful opportunity to visit this world class facility.

Please dress for the weather and wear sturdy shoes for walking at the various stops. Transportation will be provided by comfortable coach to/from the Morton Arboretum and between areas on site.

Site admission is included. Lunch will be on your own on-site at either the Ginko Restaurant or the grab and go café. Water and snacks for the return trip will be provided on the bus.

Trip is limited to 24 participants. Online registration is fastest.  Prefer to register by mail?  Click here for a PDF registration form.  Mail-in registrations must be received by April 8.
