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.


*Maximum 20 participants. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

The land where The Arboretum now grows has been home to plants and animals for thousands of years. It was home to Indigenous peoples long before settlers arrived. We recognize the traditional, ancestral, and treaty lands of the Anishinaabeg, Haudenosaunee, Attawandaron, and Mississaugas of the Credit peoples, as well as the Dish with One Spoon covenant covering 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.
