Explore the world of a designer, an architect and an arborist for the day during Morris Arboretum’s annual Arbor Day celebration on Saturday, April 25 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Five stations set up throughout the Arboretum will give visitors the opportunity to expand their knowledge of trees while participating in challenging, but fun activities. Stations will include designing a tree house, making a “tree map” with five different types of trees, drawing a tree landscape, imagining and writing the life story of a tree, and observing arborists at work. This event, open to all visitors, also gives 6th, 7th and 8th grade Girl Scouts the opportunity to earn their “Tree” badge. Visit www.gsep.org/calendar_detail.php?eventID=1320
