Science Day
Arboretum Science Day began in 2001, when University of Wisconsin graduate students had developed new information of use to Arboretum staff and other land care professionals. The need for a forum on restoration research had become clear, so the Arboretum Research Director asked students to develop a program and send out announcements. Then and today, Science Day talks are attended by agency staff from federal, state, and local governmental units, as well as nonprofit organizations, private landowners, and faculty. Each year, two or three graduate students gain valuable experience organizing and moderating the event, and six or eight present their research to the diverse audience.
