Winter Wellness Walk
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. This 60-minute walk is similar to a guided tour, but with a faster pace, to keep your feet warm and your blood pumping! Winter Wellness Walks are geared to adults and led by trained Arboretum docents. Please dress appropriately for the weather including sturdy footwear.
