2025 Events . . . The History, Nature, and Art of Woodlawn
Visitors are welcome to step back into history and experience Woodlawn’s beautiful blend of nature and art: one hundred and sixty acres of stately trees and statuary. With our schedule of annual, seasonal, and collaborative events, Woodlawn preserves its historic roots as we move forward to restoration.
Birds of Woodlawn - each Friday from 9:00 am - 10:30 am
Join us each week as we document the Birds of Woodlawn. From migrating to nesting birds, we will explore many natural habitats. From beginners to experienced birders, all our welcome. Please bring binoculars and bird guides, if you have them. Meet us at the Hillcrest Entrance.
Spend the evenings discovering trees. With over 100 different species of trees at Woodlawn, it can be tricky to tell them apart! On the tree identification walks, participants will be focusing on the subtle but easy cues that lead directly to identifying a tree. Learn techniques on diagnosing some common (and maybe not so common) tree problems. Which ones need immediate attention and which ones are just cosmetic and won't compromise the health of the tree. We will be meeting at three different locations within the Cemetery to highlight all the Arboretum throughout the series.
September 23 from 6 to 7:30 pm, Meet at the Hillcrest Avenue Entrance
October 28 from 5 to 6:30 pm. Meet at Overland Bike Trail
November 25 from 3 to 4:30 pm, Meet at the Main Entrance on Central Avenue
Woodlawn Walkers - each Wednesday at 9:00 a.m. May 7th - October 1st
Whether you’re interested in a stroll or a power walk, join us each Wednesday on a two-mile path around Woodlawn. Drop in for one week or all four months. Get healthy and rejuvenated as you walk among the beautiful arboretum and the historical architectural features. Each participant will get a walking log to keep track of their progress.
Fall Tree and Tombstone Tours: October 5th - 1:00 - 2:30pm
The beauty of Woodlawn may change with the seasons, but its rich history is constant. The many family stories contained within its gates are literally etched in stone. The 90 minutes of leisurely walking, accompanied by our knowledgeable naturalist and historians through our nationally recognized arboretum tells our community history.
