Tree Hike Series: Woodland Ecology

Join Gabis in the Tree Hike Series, while learning about Woodland Ecology!

Professor Spencer Cortwright works at Indiana University Northwest and teaches a variety of biology courses. During this hike, you will learn about the tree assemblage of the woodland at Gabis Arboretum. Professor Cortwright will explain the history of the woodland by identifying tree species and estimating their ages. The pre-settlement landscape will also be discussed.

Gabis Arboretum will be hosting a series of tree hikes throughout the year. We plan on having one in spring, summer, and winter, all focusing on different aspects of our trees. Read the individual descriptions to learn what each hike will focus on.

Meet in first parking lot.
