Can native caterpillars help control our non-native, invasive plants? That’s what researcher Michael LaScaleia is trying to figure out through his research at the Arboretum. Join us for a Research Spotlight program to learn about Michael’s research and search for some of these caterpillars in the landscape. This walk will include some boggy areas, so waterproof shoes are recommended! Program begins in front of the Hunnewell Building.


Accessibility: This program will include mulch or gravel paths, grassy areas, and off-path terrain.


Audience: This program is appropriate for all ages.
