Maple Canopy Walking Tours
Guided walks through the arboretum's extensive maple tree collection, following shaded pathways with regular rest stops at benches positioned throughout the route. Each group moves at a leisurely pace with informative commentary about tree species, seasonal changes, and woodland history. Tours typically last 45 minutes to an hour, with flexibility to adjust based on group preferences.
Shade Route Navigation Workshops
Structured sessions designed to help you explore the arboretum independently and confidently. We focus on route planning basics, identifying rest points, understanding trail conditions, and managing your own walking pace. You'll leave with practical knowledge about how to navigate the shaded pathways on your terms, whether you're planning a quick 20-minute stroll or a longer afternoon walk.
Seasonal Botanical Walks
Curated walking experiences designed around what's happening in the trees right now—spring leaf emergence, summer canopy depth, autumn color transitions, or winter branch architecture. These themed walks connect seasonal changes to the broader forest ecology and offer a reason to return to the arboretum throughout the year. Each walk is about two hours, with multiple rest opportunities built into the route.
Small Group Social Strolls
Casual walks with a focus on social connection alongside nature exploration. These relaxed, unstructured strolls are less about learning specifics and more about enjoying company and fresh air under the maple canopy. Groups stay small to keep conversation flowing naturally, and we always stop when someone wants to linger at a bench or take in a particular view.
