UW-Arboretum Earth Partnership for Families event

February 28 - Sunday, 12:30-4 p.m.

Arboretum Earth Partnership for Families: "Winter Trees, Spring Trees: What's Happening on the Inside?" February family day at the Arboretum is a drop-in event where families can find the answer to the question: "What do trees do in the winter?" And with spring just around the corner "What's happening inside a tree as the days get longer and warmer?" Learn how to identify trees in winter and make bark rubbings. A naturalist-led walk takes place from 1:30-2:30 p.m.
