New scientific illustrations will be posted outdoors in Nichols
Arboretum's Oak Openings Garden, providing visitors with information
about plant and animal life, the natural and cultural history along
the Huron River, prescribed burns at the Arb, and more. Shown here,
sorting through the signs, are Catriona Mortell, administrative
assistant at the Arb; Patricia Ferrer, adjunct assistant professor
in the School of Art & Design, whose students created the artwork;
and Wendy Caldwell, a senior studying scientific illustration.
Students, volunteers and staff provided the text. The new signs
will be posted outside beginning this spring. (Photo by Martin
