Monthly walking tours of greenspaces on the University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s East Campus are being held the first Tuesday of each month through November.
The tours, which will feature Earl G. Maxwell Arboretum this year, are noon to 1 p.m. and led by Emily Levine, special projects research horticulturist. In the event of inclement weather, the tour will be held the second Tuesday of the month.
“We’ll revisit old friends and make new acquaintances with recently installed plants. As always, we’ll focus on looking close and following woody and herbaceous plants through their seasonal changes.”
— Emily Levine
The first tour of the season, scheduled for April 3, was moved to April 10 due to inclement weather. Each tour usually begins at the Loerch Gazebo along the East Campus Loop, one block east of the Dairy Store. A few tours will begin at the Perin Porch, south of Ag Communications Hall.
Scheduled tour dates are April 10, May 1, June 5, July 3, Aug. 7, Sept. 4, Oct. 2 and Nov. 6.
