Enjoy a TREE-mendous Celebration at the Friends of Maxwell Arboretum’s fall festival from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Oct. 13. This annual family-friendly event takes place in the Earl G. Maxwell Arboretum, located at approximately 38th and Holdrege streets on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln East Campus.

This year’s theme, “Fall Harvest” honors the yearly bounty of trees and other plants. Events include children’s activities, a scavenger hunt, a free plant from the Nebraska Statewide Arboretum, a tree planting, and a sawmill demonstration. UNL Dairy Store ice cream, pumpkins, Kimmel Orchard apples, and Department of Agronomy and Horticulture popcorn will be provided. Opportunities to talk with tree and insect experts—including Emerald Ash Borer educators from the Nebraska Forest Service—and other plant specialists will round out this event in the arboretum.

TREE-mendous Celebration is sponsored by the Friends of Maxwell Arboretum, UNL Garden Friends, and UNL Landscape Services.

The Nebraska Statewide Arboretum, UNL Entomology, the Nebraska Forest Service, the Nebraska Department of Agriculture, UNL Gardens, Lincoln Parks and Recreation, and the Nebraska Nut Growers Association will provide additional booths and displays.

Parking is available in the UNMC Dental College parking lot, the East Campus Loop, and areas near the UNL Dairy Store.

Remember that trees save water and conserve energy, absorb carbon dioxide, provide food and fuel, comfort and heal, and bring beauty to a landscape.
