SUMMARY:Haunted Botany: A Performance for a Forgotten Forest
DESCRIPTION:The towering Eastern White Pine once dominated New England forests and served as an important symbol for Indigenous peoples\, but the British Royal Navy’s thirst for tall\, straight\, trees to use as ship masts eventually led to the destruction of the vast majority of old growth pines in Massachusetts. Join Gwyneth Shanks and AB Brown for a performance piece highlighting Pinus strobus’s dramatic colonial history in which American settlers fought back against King George’s large-scale destruction of their forests\, leading to direct resistance\, riots\, and eventually to the Boston Tea Party itself. \n\n\n\nThe event will begin with a participatory procession through the pines on Peters Hill and up to the Peters Hill summit\, where the performers will unroll a 1200 square foot sail pre-retreated with cyanotype dye\, and arrange archival objects\, texts\, and images on the sail that illustrate the properties and colonial histories of the eastern white pine. At the end of the event\, a large cyanotype print will be revealed which represents the complicated history of this important tree. \n\n\n\nGwyneth Shanks and AB Brown are Assistant Professors of Performance\, Theater\, and Dance at Colby College in Maine. \n\n\n\nAccessibility: This event involves walking a short distance over mulch paths and ascending the summit of Peters Hill\, which is a short but steep slope. \n\n\n\nAudience: This event is appropriate for ages 12+. \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. \n\n\n\nPhoto credit: Auden Barbour

SUMMARY:Caterpillar Lab
DESCRIPTION:The Caterpillar Lab returns to the Arboretum for a full weekend packed with caterpillar displays\, free-exploration programming\, digital microscopes\, and experienced educators on hand to give you insights into these amazing animals. \n\n\n\nThis exhibit takes place in the Hunnewell Lecture Hall and on the Hunnewell lawn\, where Caterpillar Lab staff brings in hundreds of caterpillars\, cocoons\, and lots of leafy greenery for the caterpillars to explore. This is a unique opportunity for visitors to experience the huge diversity of native caterpillars close up\, with the help of special magnifying equipment that blow some of the caterpillars up on the big screen\, and knowledgeable experts full of surprising caterpillar factoids. \n\n\n\nThe lab will be open on Saturday and Sunday\, from 11:00am to 4:00pm each day. The Arboretum’s Youth Education team will also be out on the Hunnewell Lawn from 1:00pm to 4:00pm on Sunday\, creating caterpillar crafts with kids and families. \n\n\n\nRegistration is not required but helps us with planning. \n\n\n\nAccessibility: The lecture hall is wheelchair accessible. \n\n\n\nAudience: This program is appropriate for all ages.
