Arboretum
Visiting The Arb during one of their teacher or mentor-led walks such as the Wildflower Walk on Saturday, July 25th requires registration the day before you visit, as they are limited to 9 people. If you want to visit The Arb on your own, all you need to do is show up when they are open! The Arb recommends that you wear a mask and remain socially distant. At this time they are not charging for admission, though if it’s within your means we suggest a donation as a thank you. Be sure to review their website at thearb.org to stay up-to-date on their announcements!
