Join us at our annual picnic in July! Bring a dish to share and your chair. Drinks such as water and soda and service tableware will be provided. You can bring your own favorite drinks, but remember, no alcohol is permitted at the Arboretum.

Our presenter will be the new director of the Arboretum, Michael Wall. He begins his role as director on June 1st. Wall brings more than 15 years of leadership experience spanning research institutions, museums, and nonprofit organizations, with a career focused on connecting science, education, and public engagement. Wall recently served as executive director of the Balsam Mountain Trust in North Carolina, where he led conservation, education, and strategic planning efforts for a regional nature center. Wall holds a Ph.D. in entomology from the University of Connecticut, along with bachelor’s and master’s degrees in botany from Auburn University. Let’s welcome him to Kentucky!
