Peter Schlesinger '12 likes The Arb (Cowling Arboretum).I love the Arb. It's a great place for walking, running, and reflecting. It's 800 acres to explore and enjoy! I go on runs in the Arb multiple times a week. Last week, I got to run by a family of deer! -

I was in the Arb the other day and a man, with his dog tethered to his waist, and cross country skis on his feet, whooshed past me. They were having a blast!
August Morning
I spent the summer working in the Carleton Arboretum. We spent most of our time removing invasive plants in order to reclaim the landscape and restore native ecosystems. On this particular morning, I happened to pause and notice the dew that had not yet evaporated from the grass. It was uplifting to find a moment of beauty and peace in the place we had been destroying to rebuild.
Falling
During my first year, I was endlessly delighted by the evolving colors of leaves in fall.
