Sat Jun  14  1:30 "Walk in the Woods" Free Bird and Nature Adventure at Owen Park with Beth Whitaker & Sylvia Marek

Join Arboretum Naturalist Sylvia Marek and Master Naturalist Beth Whitaker for a fascinating free educational family friendly outing at Owen Park.  We will explore the beautiful woodlands and visit historic old oaks in the prairie 'oak openings' and learn about their contributions to the ecosystem.   We will try using the Seek app to help identify and learn more about the different trees by taking pictures of leaves and bark.  Then create an iNaturalist account so you can post your Seek findings to the iNaturalist database used by researchers all over the world!
