    Back to School doesn’t mean you have go inside to learn. The Morris Arboretum invites you to its 92-acre outdoor ‘classroom’ to help you learn about trees. Come explore the new Arboretum-wide exhibit, Tree Adventure, featuring Out on a Limb, which takes you 50 feet up into the treetops. Investigate the Dawn Redwood Grove and discover the story of these trees’ “living fossils.” In Oak Allee’, learn about trees’ root systems and what they do for trees. Analyze nature’s temperature changes at the Springhouse and discover how people rely on trees to provide shelter, and find and store food at the Log Cabin. Learning takes place all over the Arboretum. Come visit!
