SUMMARY:Fearless\, Sleepless\, Deathless by Maria Pinto
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a talk by popular Mushroom Hunt instructor Maria Pinto on her new book\, Fearless\, Sleepless\, Deathless: What Fungi Taught Me about Nourishment\, Poison\, Ecology\, Hidden Histories\, Zombies\, and Black Survival. Maria weaves together memoir\, mycology\, and cultural history to illuminate the deep and surprising ways fungi connect with human life. With vivid storytelling and a fiercely original voice\, she explores fungi not just as biological wonders but as tools of survival\, subversion\, and spiritual sustenance—especially for those living at the margins. \n\n\n\nMaria Pinto is a Boston-area writer\, mycophile\, and educator who was born in Jamaica and grew up in South Florida. \n\n\n\nAccessibility: The Hunnewell Lecture Hall is wheelchair-accessible. \n\n\n\nAudience: This program is geared towards adults. \n\n\n\nMake sure to select a number of tickets before clicking “Get Tickets” below!

SUMMARY:Winter Wellness Walk
DESCRIPTION:Take a brisk walk this winter and stay healthy and connected to the Arboretum at a time when the landscape is pared down to its beautiful bones. Join docent Carol Kuo for a 90-minute walk that is similar to a guided tour\, but with a slightly faster pace and fewer stops\, to keep your feet warm and your blood pumping! Please dress appropriately for the weather including sturdy footwear. Each walk will cover a different part of the Arboretum\, depending on weather and seasonal features.

SUMMARY:The Cosmic Tree: A Universal Symbol of Life: Ginkgoes and Conifers
DESCRIPTION:Cosmologies are ways of understanding the nature of the universe\, of experiencing the world in all its variations including the visible and the invisible. Over millennia trees have served as the mythological archetype of the world’s axis (axis mundi)\, the pole through the earth’s center which connects the worlds above and below. Within a cosmic-magical model of the world (imago mundi)\, trees also evolved in various cultures to possess innate spiritual powers or as conduits for communication with the holy or sacred. \n\n\n\nDocent Katrina Scott will lead this interactive tour with stops for moments to reflect on specific trees and the stories associated with them. Were they revered or feared?  A home for deities or tricksters?  We will begin at the Walter Street Gate to visit the oldest ginkgoes at the Arboretum\, then head up the Conifer Path and diverge to walk\, rest\, and reflect among various conifers\, eventually ending by the yews near Bussey Brook and Hemlock Hill Road.  Please wear long pants and closed toe shoes and bring a cloth/towel/mat for sitting/lying down.

SUMMARY:Winter Tree ID
DESCRIPTION:This is a members-only program. Not a member? Click here to join. \n\n\n\nWinter can feel like one of the hardest times to identify trees\, with most of their characteristic leaves and flowers gone for the season. But with help from experienced horticulturist and plant science teacher Nicole Forsyth\, you can start identifying common winter trees from the woods and streets of Massachusetts based only on their bark\, buds\, twigs\, and persistent fruit. This class will begin indoors with a presentation in the lecture hall\, and then move outside for some identification practice in the landscape. \n\n\n\nAccessibility: This outdoor portion of this program will take place on paved roads\, gravel paths\, and grassy areas. There may be ice or snow\, so wear sturdy footwear! \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. \n\n\n\nMake sure to select a number of tickets before clicking “Get Tickets” below!
