Join the Arboretum Society for our First Thursday Nature Supper Club on Thursday, June 3 as we celebrate Father’s Day. You provide your own stay-at-home supper, and we provide the nature as local naturalist Stephen Lyn Bales will entertain and teach us via Zoom about fatherhood in birds. Are mourning doves good fathers? Are bluebirds? Join us and find out. 

This is a virtual Zoom presentation and registration for this free online event is required. To register go to: utarboretumsociety.org  and click on the event. The program will be recorded.  Please contact Michelle Campanis at mcampani@utk.edu with any questions or registration issues.
