Get to know our neighbors. It's always good to meet your neighbors and build community!  Invertebrates like centipedes, wasps, and wood roaches are great neighbors, too!   Learn about some of the most amazing, social insects and how we can support our insect neighbors that are critical to our shared ecosystem. Join doctoral candidate Joey Caldwell to learn about social insect behavior, amazing research, and take a bug-walk to see who our neighbors are at Matthaei!

Matthaei Botanical Gardens is hosting free guided nature walks on select Wednesdays and Sundays.  These walks are FREE, no registration is required. Wonder Walks are designed for all ages to inspire curiosity and learning from each other through activities that model curiosity and honor nature. If we have a sizeable mixed-age group, we may separate into two sets to offer the same content at different levels of engagement.

Wednesday walks begin at 5:00 pm.  Sunday walks begin at 1:00 pm. We recommend gathering inside the lobby of Matthaei Botanical Gardens about 10 minutes before the start.
