Docent Katrina Scott will lead this interactive tour with stops for moments to reflect on specific trees and the stories associated with them. We will begin at the Walter Street Gate to visit the oldest ginkgoes at the Arboretum, then head up the Conifer Path and diverge to walk, rest, and reflect among various conifers, eventually ending by the yews near Bussey Brook and Hemlock Hill Road.
