in Ann Arbor, MI 48104about Nichols Arboretum:
The Nichols Arboretum of the University of Michigan is home to hundreds of species of plants native to Michigan, among others.
But while your budding ecologist might like to learn some new plant names and genuses, the main fun here is the freedom of open romping amongst the area's trees, plants, and paths.
The Huron River meanders through the northern portion of the park, and wildlife abounds - look for red fox, white-tail deer, hawks, and woodpeckers.
Yearning for more nature, head over to the nearby, equally beautiful Matthaei Botanical Gardens.
