The Arboretum
Bill has been adding trees to his arboretum for over twenty five years. Some trees are planted in small groves while some stand alone. Getting permanent on all the trees has been an on going challenge!
Analemmatic Sundial
When you stand with your back to the sun on a stone calendar the shadow from your raised arms will indicate the time. No batteries needed but sunshine required.
Walking Your Dog
The mown trails are easy walking for both of you. The trails are used by local wildlife so there will be plenty to keep Rover busy! Please be a responsible dog walker, and mind the poison ivy.
Wild Harvesting
The Nature Trail runs through fields in which there are many self set apple trees, In autumn come with your basket or bag and pick 100% organic apples from unknown tree varieties!
Nature Watch
As you walk along the trail you can read the informative signs along the way. Keep your eyes peeled for all the birds. The fields are full of milkweed so be sure to look for Monarch caterpillars.
