Fall Campus/Bidwell Mansion Arboretum Tours Begin October 20
California State University, Chico and Bidwell Mansion State Historic Park are jointly offering four tours of their remarkable collection of native and exotic trees and shrubs this fall, Oct. 20, Nov. 3 and 17, and Dec. 1. The easy and informative walks will begin at the gazebo in front of Bidwell Mansion Tuesdays at 10 a.m. and last until 11:30 a.m.
Each tour will cover a different group of 20-30 plants on the mansion and university grounds and will be led by horticulturists and botanists from CSU, Chico.
“We will look at some trees from the southeastern United States,” said Wes Dempsey, professor emeritus of Biological Sciences, who will be one of the biologists leading the first tour. “There is the magnificent southern magnolia located in front of the mansion, planted by General Bidwell in 1863 preparatory to the building of the mansion some years later, and another magnolia on the lawn in front of Kendall Hall. There is also a tulip tree nearby and a Bald Cypress in front of Butte Hall.”
