This year we are trying something new. Each fifth grade student has "adopted" one of our 67 trees to care for and observe. They have measured circumference, converted to diameter, located their GPS coordinates, and collected/pressed leaves. Stay tuned as we share their visits to our arboretum and learn to appreciate the role these trees play in our "Riddle World".​​
