4:00pm - 6:00pm Registration (Concourse Room)
4:00pm - 6:00pm Group Hike
Nichols Arboretum
www.lsa.umich.edu/mbg/see/nicholsarboretum.asp

Nichols Arboretum "the Arb" is a 123 acre living museum set in the hills adjacent to the UM main campus. Originally designed by OC Simonds in 1906. Long views are framed by the Huron River Valley and unique plants. The Total hiking trail distance is just over 2 miles, with numerous points of interest and historical areas as well as viewing points of the surrounding areas. We will follow self-guided tours in small groups depending on the number of people who join us.

We will meet at the GLBIO Registration Area in the Michigan League (2nd floor, Concourse), at 4 pm and travel as a group to the hike start.  

If you wish, you can meet us directly at the Nichols Arboretum, Washington Heights entrance (1610 Washington Heights; www.lsa.umich.edu/mbg/files/ArbGuide.pdf).  We will be arriving there around 4:15pm - 4:20pm.
