SUMMARY:Duck Day!
DESCRIPTION:All ducks do not look the same! This field trip will take us to several of the area’s better sites for identifying ducks and other waterfowl. Winter is by far the best time of the year for viewing waterfowl in the mountains\, and many of the birds should be in full color in anticipation of the upcoming breeding season. Males are the easiest to identify\, but the class will spend time deciphering the cryptic plumages of those look-alike females as well. We will also examine their structure\, biology and improve our identification skills. \nFIELD | Friday\, December 2\, 9:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. \nPre-registration required for participation in an Adult Education class. \nArboretum Members receive a 10% discount on all classes. \nLEARN MORE

SUMMARY:Arboretum Reads: Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times by Katherine May
DESCRIPTION:Katherine May’s intimate\, revelatory memoir explores the ways we can care for and repair ourselves when life knocks us down. She pulls lessons from literature\, mythology\, and the natural world to offer instruction on the transformative power of rest and retreat. Illumination emerges from many sources: solstice celebrations and dormice hibernation\, C.S. Lewis and Sylvia Plath\, swimming in icy waters and sailing arctic seas. May models an active acceptance of sadness and finds nourishment in deep retreat\, joy in the hushed beauty of winter\, and encouragement in understanding life as cyclical\, not linear. Wintering invites us to change how we relate to our own fallow times\, providing nothing less than a guiding philosophy for transforming the hardships that arise before the ushering in of a new season. \nONSITE | Thursday\, December 15\, 2 – 3:30 p.m. \nPre-registration required for participation in an Adult Education class. \nLEARN MORE
