Take a tour on the Audubon Trail in the Arboretum

Published: 11/11/2013

The Donald E. Davis Arboretum took part in a collaborative publication with the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art, a book titled, "Audubon in the Arboretum: A Field Guide." The book showcases works by Audubon along with a detailed description of the plants featured in each print. Readers will gain insight into the natural world Audubon encountered, and the publication coincides with the openings of the exhibition "Audubon in the Arboretum" at the museum and the Audubon Trail in the Davis Arboretum. Readers can tour the museum's exhibition of Audubon plates and take a walking tour of the Audubon trail at the Davis Arboretum, which features the plants in each plate. The book was published by the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art, with research support from the Auburn University Libraries, the Donald E. Davis Arboretum and COSAM.

“Audubon in the Arboretum: A Field Guide" is on sale at the Davis Arboretum and at the Museum Shop at the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art. For more information, contact Dee Smith, curator of the Davis Arboretum at drs0001@auburn.edu or call 334.844.5770
