    Join us for a visit to a part of the Arboretum not normally open to the public. We will go bird watching in the meadows and natural areas in the Arboretum property known as Bloomfield Farm. We will see resident birds and be on the lookout for migrating warblers and raptors. After birding we will have a chance to tour Springfield Mill, an historic 1761 grist mill. Springfield Mill and the Miller’s Cottage are the oldest architectural features at the Morris Arboretum. Springfield Mill contains the most complete inventory of original mill works and related machinery of any mill in the area. We will also see the Arboretum’s new Horticulture Center, a LEED Platinum building that features green roofs. Bring your binoculars. This class meets at Bloomfield Farm. The entrance road is across Northwestern Avenue from the public garden entrance. Meet in the parking lot.
