This is a way to have a good time while learning about the spirit of environmental stewardship fostered by Arbor Day founder J. Sterling Morton. Wirth adds that the weekend is designed for all ages, with a wide variety of activities. Other events include a plant sale, mini train rides, face painting, and shuttle tours of Arbor Day Farm to see many of the unique conservation demonstrations in place there. Free seedling trees will also be given away on a first come, first served basis, and tree experts will be on hand to offer tree care advice. Originally part of J. Sterling Morton's estate, today Arbor Day Farm is a National Historic Landmark owned and operated by The National Arbor Day Foundation.
