SUMMARY:Finding Fireflies
DESCRIPTION:When the sun sets and darkness settles on the Arboretum for the night\, every now and then the dark is interrupted by the flash of a firefly.

This program takes place after dark. \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.

SUMMARY:Mushroom Hunt
DESCRIPTION:Hundreds of mushrooms hide beneath the Arboretum’s canopies\, silently blossoming into unique forms then withering away again just as quickly. Join local mushroom enthusiast Maria Pinto to search for these fascinating organisms on the Arboretum grounds\, both edible and poisonous alike. Along the way you will learn what mushrooms to look for in different habitats and seasons\, how they move through ecosystems\, and what the Arboretum’s unique collections affect what mushrooms you might find here. \n\n\n\nAccessibility: Participants will need to navigate woodchip\, gravel\, and dirt paths\, and climb moderate hills (Hemlock Hill\, specifically). \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.

SUMMARY:Decoding the Landscape: The Urban Wilds
DESCRIPTION:This program was rescheduled from July 11 to July 12\, 2:00 to 3:30pm. \n\n\n\nThis is a members-only program. Not a member? Click here to join. \n\n\n\nThe forest is a constantly changing landscape where tree species dominate and then fade away\, to be replaced by other species in the ongoing process of succession. Join Horticulturist Brendan Keegan to see these dynamics at play in Bussey Brook Meadow: learn what species are found in an urban wild like this\, how the landscape is used to study spontaneous vegetation\, and explore the interplay of native\, exotic\, and invasive species in this unique corner of the Arboretum. \n\n\n\nAccessibility: This program involves navigating flat\, gravel paths and mowed grass. \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:Bizarre Botany: Working Together
DESCRIPTION:This is a members-only program. Not a member? Click here to join. \n\n\n\nJoin Manager of Adult Programming and Events Sarah Nechamen for a deep dive into the strangest parts of the plant world.
