Help restore the forests of the Lower Arboretum by protecting young trees from winter deer browse! In the winter, hungry deer search out the buds of trees and shrubs. We can protect new trees by hiding their top bud inside a small paper bag which is stapled closed. Deer are visual feeders, so they don't detect the bud inside the bag. Meet in the Lower Arboretum at the southernmost parking lot along Canada Avenue. Watch for staff directing you to parking, as this parking area is small. The Arboretum staff will provide all needed equipment, you just need to dress for the weather.
