SUMMARY:Birding at the Arboretum
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wanted to learn more about the feathered friends you see and hear on a walk through the Arnold Arboretum? If so\, please join birders and volunteers TJ and Allison for a leisurely 90-minute bird watching walk. We will cover a variety of habitats and focus on the changes that seasonal migration brings to our resident birds\, so come back often to keep up with the seasons! No homework is required\, but binoculars are helpful for spotting in the trees. We’re looking forward to birding with you!

SUMMARY:Arnoldia Spotlight: Reading the Landscape as Historical Text
DESCRIPTION:This program has been cancelled. \n\n\n\nThis is a members-only program. Not a member? Click here to join. \n\n\n\nBefore this landscape became an Arboretum\, part of it belonged to a black landowner and farmer named Simeon Giles. A Harvard seminar called Slavery\, the Environment\, and Public History explored what we can learn about Giles and his family by reading the landscape today: which of the trees here were present at that time? What would Giles have cultivated here\, and how might the lay of the land have impacted his livelihood? Harvard graduate student Riley Sutherland wrote an article in the summer feature of Arnoldia describing the course and what they learned\, and she will be heading out into the landscape again along with Horticulturist Brendan Keegan and Arnoldia Editor Matthew Battles to share what they learned about Giles\, the history of this land\, and the stories landscapes tell. \n\n\n\nAccessibility: This program involves traversing moderate hills\, uneven ground\, and dirt paths. \n\n\n\nAudience: This members-only 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.

SUMMARY:Nature Journaling: A Virtual Program
DESCRIPTION:This is a members-only program. Not a member? Click here to join. \n\n\n\nAre you trying to get (back) into a nature-journaling practice? Interested in discovering a new\, creative way to engage with the world of trees? Join this online\, interactive session for some spontaneous and expressive artmaking\, inspired by a tree near you! We will gather online to respond creatively to the trees in our respective corners of the world. The session consists of various free-form sketchbook experiments that celebrate the diversity of tree form. \n\n\n\nAll levels are welcome: neither botanical knowledge nor previous drawing experience are required. \n\n\n\nBring your own plant materials from a tree near you (twigs\, leaves\, flowers\, seeds\, pieces of bark– anything that sparks your interest!) as well as art supplies like paper\, scissors\, markers\, glue\, and tape. We will send a full list via email. \n\n\n\nThis activity is led by botanist and creative facilitator Kristel Schoonderwoerd. Kristel spent many years in the living collections of the Arnold Arboretum gathering data for her PhD degree. She currently lives and creates on her narrowboat on the British Canal and facilitates (online) nature-inspired artmaking events. \n\n\n\nAudience: This members-only program is geared towards ages 12+ \n\n\n\nZoom link: You will receive a Zoom link when you register below.
