Join arborist, Keely Zuber, for an informative tour of the diverse tree species that extend throughout the grounds of Buttonwood Park. The tour will take place along Buttonwood Park’s pedestrian path. This historic park was one of seven iconic parks originally planned by Charles Eliot during his apprenticeship for the world-renowned architectural firm of Frederick Law Olmsted, who also designed New York City’s Central Park and Boston’s Emerald Necklace. Along the way, attendees will learn more about Bug Out, DATMA’s newest public art installation developed in partnership with Greater New Bedford Regional Vocational-Technical High School, and currently on view throughout the park.

This dog-friendly drop-in tour will start by the entrance to the Buttonwood Park Zoo. Attendees are encouraged to pick up a copy of Peterson First Guide To Trees: A beginner-friendly field guide identifying 243 trees across six leaf-type categories, with 200 vivid color illustrations by George A. Petrides and Roger Tory Peterson before the tour.

All DATMA programs are 100% free to the public.
