SUMMARY:Fall Education Series- Part One
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Arboretum on October 7th at 9 a.m. for the first of a four-part “Fall Education Series!”  David McKinney\, Curator of Collections & Grounds\, will be speaking first about the importance of wasps.

David will shed insight into the vastly ecologically importance of wasps: from pollination to pest control. He will give tips on how to encourage wasps to visit your garden while keeping them from areas where they may pose a threat. Gabbi Edwards\, City Forester – Ames will follow David at 10:30 am and will talk about the impact urban trees and green spaces have on those of us who experience them. Spending time outside has proven to improve human health and well-being. She will talk about the impacts\, why they happen\, and what you can do to create meaningful impact in your area.\nCoffee and breakfast pastries are provided!\nREGISTER HERE! \nMember- $15 \nNonmember – $25
