Matt Schuth
Having been associated with the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum since 1982 has given me the opportunity to work at a variety of tasks including managing the maple syrup production, working on wetland projects with graduate students, and helping to prepare and maintain research plots. I have set up bluebird trails, wood duck houses, and osprey nests, and recorded sightings of bird, mammal, and butterfly species for the Arboretum. I continue to write about the natural world for the Arboretum Magazine and do many nature walks and talks.
