Pop-Up Nature!

Stop by the Hoyt Arboretum Visitor Center courtyard on Fridays through the summer from 10 AM -12 PM to explore Pop-Up Nature displays and pick up self-led activities for the Arboretum’s trails.

Each week features a different natural science theme,  introducing topics from the top of the forest canopy to below the soil surface. It will spark curiosity, exploration, and discovery for your budding junior naturalist. Be sure to pick up one of our new Pop-Up Nature Passports to get a stamp of discovery for the events you attend. Earn 6 stamps for a prize!
