Jr Naturalist Patch
Kids in grades k-5 can participate in our year round program to explore all that the Wilbur D. May Arboretum has to offer. This program takes participants all over the park through many of our most important gardens. Completion of the packet results in earning a Jr. Naturalist Patch, displayed right.
