September is for Butterflies


As part of a larger conservation and awareness project, the Arboretum will have several interesting classes on butterflies, including Gardening for Butterflies, Butterfly Ecology, Illustrating Butterflies using Chinese Brush Painting, and Photographing Butterflies.  I'll post details later this week.  We also should have our Big Bend Field Trip finalized this week - it'll be Aug. 11-15, and I promise the trip of a lifetime!

Working on...

Adult art workshops on June 13, 20, and 27. More details to follow.



I should have details of the August Big Bend trip available by the end of this week.



Night hikes for frogs and insect sounds in May, and a trip to Waugh St. to view the departure of bats on a TBD evening in June.



As always, stay tuned for details!
