Tree Time! Preschool Program

Tree Time! is held on Mondays year-round. See below for specific dates.

The Tree Time! preschool program introduces youth to the natural world and is geared towards children ages 2-6 years old (all children must be accompanied by a guardian). Each week centers around a new theme to encourage exploration of plants, streams, bugs, and wildlife. Join us as we walk around Hoyt Arboretum with a volunteer naturalist. These walks feature a story, exploration of Hoyt Arboretum and craft. Walks are geared towards preschool aged students ages 2-6 years old. Walks are $5 per student.
