December 2013
Over the river and through the woods, to Klehm Arboretum we go!
 
Take a hike, ski a trail or wander the woods at Klehm this winter

 

Brrrr...  It may be cold outside, but you'll receive a warm welcome from the staff at Klehm. Stop by to bird watch, cross-country ski or take a winter walk through the evergreens.
