Enjoy a winter nature walk around the Arboretum! Do you know the difference between pines, spruces, and hemlocks? Can you find five different shades of green? What’s the difference between a conifer and an evergreen? Let’s find out the answers to these questions while exploring your local park. Bring your own clippers, gloves, and a tote bag to collect some greens during the walk. We will then assemble a wreath (Friday) or swag (Saturday) to use in holiday decorating. Feel free to bring any decorations desired like bows or small ornaments. Cost is per project; families may work together on one or pay per person to each create their own. Dress for the weather as both the walk and the craft will be outside. Participants may choose to take the materials home if the weather is too cold to craft outside. Please note that the restroom facility consists of a portajohn.
