Arboretum Class: "Populations in the Prairie." Look at familiar plants and animals in a new way by building simple models and animations to explore how populations spread and grow. Then test the effect different environmental factors can have. Find answers to questions such as: What do wild strawberries and staghorn sumac have in common? How many monarchs might we see on the prairie next year? Are all weedy species successful? Start: 6:30 pm

Arboretum Night Walk: "Skydance." The American woodcock is a funny-looking bird that has an amazing spring ritual for attracting mates. We can never guarantee that wildlife will appear on cue, but we can usually hear and see woodcock performances near the Arboretum Visitor Center. Naturalists will talk about the woodcock and other rites of spring that can be seen on a March evening. | ||
