On Saturday, March 28, as the winter season hopefully winds down, join David Donovan at the Arnold Arboretum in an exploration of the wonderful variety of bark in the Arboretum’s collections. Discover trees with exfoliating (peeling) bark, like paperbark maple or stewartia. Observe trees with smooth, fissured, or rough bark, and enjoy the diverse beauty of mature trunks as you walk through the landscape. David has been a National Park Ranger and naturalist at Acadia National Park, taught high school biology, led nature walks throughout New England, and is also a certified arborist. Meet at 12:30 pm in the Hunnewell Building. In case of inclement weather, contact 617-384-5209.
