The winner of our third Walk on the Wild Side quiz is Josette Cook. Josette correctly answered that an occassional cause of death for the Great Blue Heron is choking on a fish too large to swallow.

Josette was selected at random from the correct reponses submitted. She won an Arboretum apple green insulated logo picnic tote AND one of our Arboretum signature logo blankets – a $125 value! See who won the first and second contests!

When she came to the Visitor Center to pick up her goodies, Josette told us about the most memorable thing she had experienced at The Morton Arboretum. 

“I have always hated winters, so I signed up for a class on Mosses and Lichens. I enjoyed it so much that I continued with more classes and completed all the courses required for a Naturalist Certificate. It’s normally a 2-year undertaking, but I doubled up on the courses and I was able to complete the program in only one year. I received my certificate in 2008. Now I’m taking classes at COD towards a Horticulture degree. The courses I have taken at The Morton Arboretum have made it a lot easier to get through the curriculum at COD. Some day I’d even like to work at the Arboretum!” JOsette also told us that the arboretum is her favorite place – after Disney World, that is! She’s planning a trip in December and told us she will take her Arboretum gifts with her.
