Fall is here, and the natural world is winding down from the riot of spring and summer. Naturalist and botanist Alexandra Holland leads this walk at the Arboretum, pointing out the array of fall wildflowers in bloom and discussing how the trees are preparing for winter. Learn some basics of wildflower and tree ecology and identification while taking in the beauty of the season. Participants should dress appropriately for the weather and wear sturdy footwear. Participants should be able to walk about a mile on well-maintained trails with some hills.
