SUMMARY:All-Ages Insect Safari
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an interactive look at all the tiny critters that crawl\, fly\, or slither through the Arboretum landscape. We will have sweep nets and bug boxes to catch bugs in Kent Field\, digital microscopes to get a closer look\, some fun bug crafts\, and an entomologist to help us identify everything we find. This is an all-ages\, interactive program: come prepared to move around and get up close with some bugs and insects! \n\n\n\nTo find this event in the Conifer Collection\, enter through Bussey Street Gate and walk up the paved road until you reach the bridge on your left. The event will be just across the bridge! \n\n\n\nAccessibility: This program begins on an intersection of dirt paths. The terrain includes a moderate slope and a small wooden bridge. \n\n\n\nAudience: This program is appropriate for all ages. \n\n\n\nInclement weather policy: Participants will be notified via email at least one day in advance if a program needs to be cancelled due to inclement weather\, and will be notified by phone if a program must be cancelled with less one day’s notice. Click here to view our full inclement weather policy. If you have questions about the status of a program\, please email publicprograms@arnarb.harvard.edu (inbox monitored on weekdays) or call the Visitor Center desk between 10:00am and 4:00pm at (617) 384-5209.

SUMMARY:Research Spotlight: Mycorrhizae and the Arboretum Truffle
DESCRIPTION:In 2016\, the Donald Pfister lab at Harvard University discovered a new species of mycorrhizal truffle at the Arboretum\, related to the famed culinary truffle but genetically distinct. Nine years later the lab is still making new discoveries in the field of mycorrhizae: the fungi that form symbiotic associations with plant roots and provide the plants with extra water and nutrients from the soil in exchange for a steady supply of sugars. \n\n\n\nJoin Professor Don Pfister for a research spotlight on mycorrhizae and the Arboretum truffle\, and learn about the biology of mycorrizae\, how the Arboretum truffle and other mycorrhizae disperse their spores\, and how to go about finding mycorrhizae in the landscape. The group will also take some soil cores and look for evidence of mycorrhizae in the soil. Maybe we’ll find a truffle! \n\n\n\nAccessibility: This program involves climbing moderate slopes and walking over mulch paths\, gravel paths\, and mowed grass. \n\n\n\nAudience: This program is geared towards adults. \n\n\n\nInclement weather policy: Participants will be notified via email at least one day in advance if a program needs to be cancelled due to inclement weather\, and will be notified by phone if a program must be cancelled with less one day’s notice. Click here to view our full inclement weather policy. If you have questions about the status of a program\, please email publicprograms@arnarb.harvard.edu (inbox monitored on weekdays) or call the Visitor Center desk between 10:00am and 4:00pm at (617) 384-5209.
