The Arboretum's 47 acres of research area allow a chance for students to learn about the complexities of life in the natural world. Teachers will be encouraged throughout the year to conduct field trips here that supplement their lesson plans and meet proficiency test outcomes.
1) Leaf Collection
Due to impending construction and change in arboretum goals from open hours to research, the collection of leaves by the general public is discouraged. However, if you would like to join a group collection, please contact the Olander Park System for information on collection trips.
2) Audio Tour
A 90-minute audio tour of the arboretum general collection is now available. An MP3 file is down-loadable from the HOME page of this web site, so that those with hearing impairments can hear about the arboretum collection.
The Program Coordinator invites educators to contact her at (419) 841-1007 or lisa.delp@utoledo.edu to arrange for special tours and programs for students.
