The Arboretum is home to thousands of insect species, each playing a vital role in the rich biodiversity of this space. Getting to know these fascinating creatures might seem daunting, but don’t worry—we’re here to help! Join our naturalists for a guided hike through The Arboretum as we search for butterflies, dragonflies, and other incredible insects. Along the way, we’ll explore identification tips, natural history, and the important roles these tiny creatures play in our world. Nets (and net training!) will be provided.

The land where The Arboretum now grows has been home to plants and animals for thousands of years.  It was home to Indigenous peoples before settlers arrived. We recognize the Dish with One Spoon territory, the treaty lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Between the Lakes Treaty 3 lands on which the University of Guelph and The Arboretum now sit. We are honoured to work on and care for this land.
