ECSONG TOUR Of THE NUT TREES IN THE DOMINION ARBORETUM
FREE: All are welcome.
WHEN: Tuesday, August 5th from 3:00 to 5:00pm.
WHERE: Parking lot next to Building 72, which is the main building and parking lot for the Dominion Arboretum. It is on the east side of Prince of Wales Drive and can be accessed by turning east at the roundabout along Prince of Wales Drive.
WHAT: This is a joint tour with the Friends of the Central Experimental Farm. It will be led by Robert Glendenning an employee of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. The tour will include most species of northern nut trees such as hickory, pecan, hardy English walnut, black walnut, heartnut and some nut tree cultivars. Given that it is mid-season it is expected that nuts will still be visible on producing trees.
WHAT TO BRING: Please dress appropriately for weather conditions. Bring a wide brim hat and sunscreen for protection from the sun. Bring water to quench your thirst. Bring an umbrella or rain gear if rain is forecasted. There will be extensive walking so please wear appropriate footwear.
