Wander through the trees

The Dartmouth Tree Committee will host “A Dartmouth Tree Walk” on Sunday, Sept. 17 on the campus of UMass Dartmouth.

The walk will be led by botanist and professor emeritus James Sears, who first began planting trees at the University in the 1980s, resulting in today’s noteworthy arboretum of nearly 500 trees, both natives and non-natives.
To get to the walk, park in Lot 1, pick up a map and meet at the gathering place for a short introduction and history.
