The Arbo Project is a program sponsored by the Connecticut College Arboretum and the Office of Volunteers for Community Service. All tours last about one hour and can be adapted to meet the needs of the curriculum of the specific class. Topics include decomposition, why leaves turn colors in fall, animals of the arboretum and tree uses and preservation. These lessons are a great opportunity in preparation for a spring tour. Tour topics include spring wildflowers, plant germination, baby animals and pond life.
Rides are available by the college for thirteen children and one adult in New London.
