The Arboretum at Flagstaff This Weekend

The 2008 Wildflower Walks at the Arboretum are scheduled only four times. This weekend, Saturday, July 26, is one of those times. You can also participate in these Wildflower Walks on August 30 and September 27.

Sounds like this Saturday should be a great time to head out to the Arboretum, since the Wildflower Walk is included in the price of admission. You'll want to get there early because only 20 people can take the walk with Dr. Gwendolyn Waring. The walk starts and 9:30 a.m. and lasts about two hours.

You can also go on the Guided Birdwalk starting at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday. The Arboretum website says these walks guided by Audubon Society members are free. So, perhaps there is no admission here. Please check to be sure.

In addition, there are guided Tours of the Gardens every day at 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. and Wild Birds of Prey programs are scheduled at noon and 2:00 p.m. Both these are also included in the price of admission.

This 200-acre facility will certainly give you a lot for you money this Saturday. Check the hours and fees here. In case you aren't familiar with the Arboretum's location, see a map and directions here.
