Congratulations to our first winner of the new Animal Houses exhibition!
Robin Jozaitis, a Family Plus member from Woodridge and a member since 2006, posted the correct response to this question:
A squirrel’s home usually consists of two rooms and a
a. bathrooom
b. nursery
c. media room
d. porch
Extra Credit: What is a squirrel’s home called?
Robin and a number of other participants correctly selected answer b, nursery. In addition, Robin knew that the squirrel’s home is called a “drey.” Robin was selected at random from all the correct responses received.
Robin won an Arboretum apple green insulated logo picnic tote AND one of our Arboretum signature logo blankets - a $125 value! Make sure you try your luck at the second quiz #2! She’s pictured at right with husband Dave and daughter Jackie picking up her picnic tote in the Visitor Center’s Orientation Hall.
Robin told us: “I am so thankful for The Morton Arboretum as it provides a year round opportunity to connect with nature and the seasons in a real sense. I bring my children to learn and appreciate that our world is a much bigger place than our paved streets and brick buildings where we spend so much of our time. In light of this goal (to re-connect with nature), I especially love the Animal Houses exhibits because they not only educate but help me and my children to gain a new perspective and appreciation for our animal neighbors, their organic rituals and the ways that they instinctively live and protect their families. My favorite is the Guest House because I am truly a guest in their animal world.”
We thank Robin, and the Jozaitis family, for their continued support of The Morton Arboretum!
