You may have walked through Maxwell Arboretum before—but have you ever explored it with someone who can tell you what you are seeing, why it was planted and how the landscape has developed over time?
Join First Lutheran member Jeff Culbertson, Director of Landscape Operations at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, for an informal guided tour of Maxwell Arboretum on Sunday, July 19, from 2:00–4:00 PM on UNL’s East Campus.
Jeff will share some of the Arboretum’s history and lead participants through its trees, prairie and other plant collections. Along the way, you’ll have an opportunity to notice plants and features you may otherwise walk right past, ask questions and learn from someone with extensive knowledge of the campus landscape.
The forecast may be hot, but this is a flexible, come-as-you-are outing—not a strenuous two-hour hike. Participants may walk and explore for as long as they are comfortable, then leave whenever they are ready. Even a shorter visit offers a unique opportunity to experience one of Lincoln’s beautiful green spaces through the eyes of an expert.
No reservations are needed—just show up! Meet at the gazebos marked by an arrow on this map. A large parking lot is located just east of the Arboretum.
Please bring plenty of water and dress for the weather. Comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen and a hat are also recommended.
