Up a Tree
The UW Arboretum is a cherished jewels of campus - a combination laboratory and park, where scientists can look into the interactions of nature, and where students, faculty, staff, and townies can get away from the noise and pressures of city life and escape into forest without leaving Madison. But for all the affection we shower on the Arb, it's in danger. Invasive species, runoff, and climate change are altering the landscape of this university treasure.
On Wisconsin takes a tour through four seasons at the Arboretum and investigates what UW staff are doing to protect it. Check out this story and more in the
Fall 2009 issue of On Wisconsin.
